Campus Compact is now accepting proposals for the Compact22 national conference. We seek proposals that explore our theme: A Better Way Forward: Innovation with equity at the center. The conference will explore how we can imagine a better way forward, mobilizing the power of higher education to drive innovation, build connections, and create a new normal centered in equity and justice.
Sessions may explore topics such as civic engagement, community-engaged research, civic- and service-learning, institutional chance, university-community partnerships, and more. We welcome proposals representing work undertaken through public, private, two-year, four-year, and graduate colleges and universities, along with organizations outside of higher education, including community-based partners. All sessions should contribute to equity & inclusion goals and represent a multiplicity of perspectives.
