TRUCEN hosts an annual meeting, typically in the early spring, inviting individuals from member institutions who lead or oversee civic and community engagement work in their respective high research university settings. The meeting provides an opportunity for members to share the knowledge and strategies they employ to advance higher education community engagement in their institutional contexts as well as to brainstorm new and creative approaches to common challenges and opportunities that members collectively encounter in their work.
