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.
Campus Compact of New York and Pennsylvania (CCNYPA) offers a host of training and networking opportunities for your institution. These sessions focus on sharing information and resources to increase skills, efficiency, capacity, and support for civic engagement and student leadership on campus. They are custom-designed to fit your institution’s context. If interested, click here to contact us for followup.

Newman Civic Fellows

Congratulations to all of the 2019 CCNYPA Newman Civic Fellows! For more information about the Fellows' projects, click here.

​The Newman Civic Fellowship recognizes and supports community-committed students who are changemakers and public problem-solvers at Campus Compact member institutions. Fellows are nominated by their president or chancellor on the basis of their potential for public leadership. Through the fellowship, Campus Compact provides students with training and resources that nurture their assets and passions and help them develop strategies for social change. The yearlong program, named for Campus Compact founder Frank Newman, includes virtual learning opportunities and networking as part of a national network of engaged student leaders and an optional in-person convening.

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.
