CCNYPA Events

​Building on the enormous success of the 2006-2010 regional “Partnerships that Work” initiative, funded by a joint CNCS Learn and Serve grant, NYCC and PACC have already introduced new programming designed to take advantage of regional synergies. Recent and upcoming initiatives include our new regional VISTA program, as well as workshops, symposia, and other knowledge and leadership-building opportunities.

ERCC Conference 2019
Education for Democracy: Innovating in Complex Times
Providence, Rhode Island

The 2019 Conference Theme is  Education for Democracy: Innovating in Complex Times. Higher Education is influenced by significant social, economic, and political factors within and beyond academe, and campuses are at the nexus of multiple social movements. The field of civic and community engagement is challenged to respond, contribute, and lead change-making efforts on and off campus that improve our communities and democracy. The rate of change is quickening, and we must ensure that our scholarship and practice is evolving to ensure student, institutional, and community impact. Innovation requires us to think and act differently. We are compelled to develop new educational opportunities and processes that provide solutions to complex problems and advance our common purposes of educating students for civic and social responsibility and improving communities.

PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT

In October 2017-January 2018, PACC and NYCC collaborated to offer five regional assessment workshops. More than 100 faculty and staff from 46 institutions in both states attended. Webinars extended training while building a larger network for members to exchange ideas and share successful strategies. Upcoming professional development programs from CCNYPA will include training and capacity building for member students, faculty, and staff. Events will focus on engaged teaching and faculty, collective impact, and civic dialogue; issue-focused trainings in areas such as cultural competency for equity and inclusion; and workshops on student leadership for social change.
