Compact Nation Podcast: Putting the “Action” in Civic Action Plans

About the Episode

For our first episode of 2019, we focus on Civic Action Plans. In two interviews, we highlight the work of two institutions — Loras College and James Madison University —  who approached the concept of Civic Action Planning in very different ways that both made big impacts on their campuses and communities. Plus, Emily reveals an Iowa food phenomenon: the “walking taco.”
