Network for Academic Renewal Conference
October 18 - October 20, 2007

The conference will highlight current research on the impact and development of innovative civic engagement programs, particularly those integrating civic, diversity, and global education initiatives. The conference will provide a venue for discussion of both integrative models and the need for distinct civic engagement, diversity, and/or global programs that address pressing issues such as racial and ethnic inequities that might get lost in more integrative efforts. It will also include a particular focus on articulating the aims and learning outcomes of civic engagement programs.
