Recap: Compact24
Posted by Campus Compact on May 7, 2024
We wrapped up or 2024 annual conference in Denver a little less than a month ago. We had an amazing time and were inspired by all the stories of learning, connection, and collaboration we heard.
The conference kicked off on Monday, April 8 with pre-conference institutes in the morning. All attendees then came together for our opening & welcome and the first general session, which included the presentation of the Guarasci and Padrón awards for institutional transformation to Rutgers University-Camden and Delta College. The bulk of the session was focused on the topic, “Defending Higher Education, Advancing Inclusive Democracy,” which featured individual keynotes followed by a casual conversation with Sharon L. Davies, President and CEO of the Charles F. Kettering Foundation, and María Teresa Kumar, President of Voto Latino. Both speakers discussed the current challenges facing higher education civic and community engagement through coordinated campaigns to attack higher education, and especially the practice of diversity, equity, and inclusion.
