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.

​We are pleased to announce our keynote for our 2019 Eastern Region Campus Compact Conference! Known for her work on justice and citizenship, Dr. Danielle Allen is a professor in Harvard University’s Department of Government and Graduate School of Education, and is a contributing columnist for the Washington Post.

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.
