VCC's Engaged Campus Forum
a Success

Over 80 attendees from Vermont campuses and communities joined us on Friday, April 12th for the First Annual Engaged Campus Forum. Participants heard from higher education leaders in the state about the importance of fostering civic engagement, and the opportunities and challenges of being an "engaged campus." Awards were presented to educators, community partners, and students to recognize their leadership in campus-community engagement. And over 40 people stayed for an afternoon workshop on fostering civic learning. We look forward to continuing this annual event, and choosing a theme for 2014.
Thank you to everyone who joined us for helping to make this event a special new tradition for Vermont Campus Compact.
