Through this webinar, we will discuss the vital role that colleges and universities can play in ensuring a fair and complete count in the 2020 Census. A complete count is essential to ensuring that states maintain their federal funding levels and their representation in federal government. By working with students, staff, faculty, administrators, and most importantly, community partners, colleges and universities can support their communities in maintaining important resources. In this webinar, we will explore available resources as well as highlight schools gearing up for this work in 2020.

The American Academy of Arts and Sciences (AAAS) launched the Commission on the Practice of Democratic Citizenship to enable more Americans to obtain the values, knowledge and skills needed for participation in a 21st-century democratic society. The Commission will deepen the national dialogue around democracy, citizenship, and community, by exploring civic and political participation in the United States today and will set out a plan of action for promoting the values and behaviors that define effective citizenship in a diverse 21st century democracy. AAAS has selected Cleveland as a location for one of the community conversations. This is an exciting opportunity for people to contribute to a national report and recommendations about what civic and political participation and effective citizenship can and should look like. People will have time to share their experiences (both challenges and opportunities) of living in a democracy today and respond to recommendations put forth from other communities.

Integrating Civic Outcomes Across a Major or Program: Curriculum design and mapping for civic learning
2019-02-19 15:00 - 16:00
Part of the 2018-19 Campus Compact Webinar Series
In this webinar attendees will focus on identifying, articulating, and mapping civic learning and developmental outcomes (civic identity, civic-mindedness, civic agency, civic literacy, intercultural competency, etc.) for their program of study or major. A curriculum map is a tool to assure the content of a program of study or major is being presented and assessed, all content is linked to learning goals (e.g. institutional, accreditor), and that content is sufficient to reach learning and developmental goals. A curriculum mapping exercise can show gaps in learning, overlaps in content, and indicate where weaknesses or opportunities can and should be addressed.

ACE South Winter Summit: Tackling the Mental Health Crisis on American Campuses
2019-02-07 08:00 - 2019-02-08 17:00
Eleven percent of college students seriously thought about attempting suicide in the past year. Of this percentage, one in 20 made a plan to carry it out.
Three out of 10 college students have struggled with depression in the last two weeks.
One in 4 students have expressed issues with anxiety.
These sobering statistics remind us that today’s college students struggle with a variety of mental health issues including depression, anxiety, and thoughts of suicide. Institutional leaders must be prepared to address mental health issues within the campus context and to create a supportive learning environment for students. Accordingly, ACE is convening a regional community to proactively address the challenge of student mental health and how it impacts individual institutions. Learn from experienced thought leaders, share best practices with your colleagues, and experiment with new ideas to plan effective future responses.

Over this day-and–a-half summit in New Orleans, institutional leaders will:

Examine the issues and current trends related to college student mental health;
Explore inter- and intra-institutional partnerships to foster mental health on campus;
Consider promising practices (and common missteps) for creating a campus environment that promotes mental health and well-being for all students; and,
Discuss how different types of institutions can best engage key constituent groups (e.g., faculty, staff, students, community members, etc.) in both addressing mental health challenges and supporting stakeholders working with affected individuals.

Register to gain knowledge and insights to effectively address student mental health and well-being, a critical topic for higher education administrators.

Break Away National Conference Call Series: Asset-Based and Response-Driven: Community Work, Curriculum, and Storytelling
2019-01-30 13:00 - 14:00
**This is an EXTERNAL EVENT, open this post to find registration.**

Featuring: Paul Arntson from the Asset-Based Community Development Institute + Taylor Nelson from the Solutions Journalism Network
Click here to sign up for the public call.
This month, we’re thrilled to unite schools and community organizations on a call to examine our fundamental orientation toward service and justice. As people working in communities and with volunteers, we’re constantly inviting others into our work: to expand our reach, strengthen our voice, and broaden perspectives. With each story told or invitation extended, we contribute (often unknowingly) to larger narratives that surround social issues and those impacted by them.
This call will help us approach and share our work with others in a way that’s thoughtful, strengths-driven, and falls on the side of justice. We’ll be joined by two organizations we have long admired – each addressing these narratives in unique ways. The Asset-Based Community Development Institute created a framework that honors the gifts and contributions of every community. They believe in harnessing those assets in order to reach shared goals. The Solutions Journalism Network shapes the way that we learn about the world by supporting journalism that highlights individual and community response to challenges, not just the challenges themselves. Attendees can use this to inform approaches to curriculum development (write learning outcomes, develop program descriptions, curate materials and reading lists) and storytelling (recruit new people, write reports, and share photos or blogs).
Regardless of membership with Break Away, we’d love to have schools and organizations join us for this semester’s public call in our National Conference Call series. Help us spread the word for this month’s call – open to everyone invested in community and active citizenship.
Please RSVP and submit your questions ahead of time. Once you sign up, we’ll send you the call-in information and presentation materials. If you’re unable to attend, you can still register to receive the recording and materials after the call.

Part of the 2018-19 Campus Compact Webinar Series
Widely known through the work of the Harlem Children’s Zone and the federal government’s Promise and Choice Neighborhood programs, geographically specific community engagement initiatives have the potential to positively address the challenges of inequity and injustice within our communities. While we may be familiar with these types of place-based initiatives from non-profit organizations or governmental grants, less is known about this type of strategy in higher education. This webinar will include a presentation of a recent national study and the facilitators’ recent book on place-based community engagement in higher education, followed by an exploration of several of the most salient topics arising from this promising new strategy.

ACE/AIEA Internationalization Collaborative 2019: Preparing for Tomorrow's Student
2019-01-19
What will be the future of internationalization in higher education?
In the United States, student enrollment is reflecting more than ever a diversity of student identities and life stages —students of color, adult learners, single parents, veterans, first-generation immigrants, and international students. How can U.S. colleges and universities recognize the complexity of their student body as a strength and integrate their varied backgrounds as a resource for global education? Looking to our international community, what new approaches are other higher education systems adopting to internationalize?​
These topics and more will be explored at the 2019 ACE/AIEA Internationalization Collaborative, a one-day, annualconference devoted to meeting the challenges of campus internationalization. The Collaborative meets in conjunction with the Association of International Education Administrators (AIEA) Annual Conference. Registration for the two events is separate, and we strongly encourage you to attend both.​
The design of this year’s Collaborative will include opportunities to:

Adopt various methods of learning (experiential, interactive technologies, etc.) through which global competencies could be offered
Rethink the way global and international education can remain relevant throughout a learner’s lifetime
Consider accessibility to global learning across a broad and diverse spectrum of learners
Use data to reimagine and inform the student reality

Throughout the Collaborative, international campus administrators and faculty will be encouraged to collectively develop new methods and to share best practices for engaging and preparing diverse learners with the necessary global skills to prosper in and contribute to tomorrow’s world.​​

Going Beyond Rubrics: The Impact of Community Engagement on Our Campuses
2019-01-16 09:00 - 15:00
As part of Campus Compact for Southern New England’s four-part series on Civic & Community Engagement, this workshop, hosted at MCPHS, will focus on strategies for evaluating the impact of civic engagement initiatives on your institution including policies, practices, and institutional mission and culture. The workshop has the following overall goals:

to examine the ways in which we define and measure institutional impacts related to civic engagement efforts: What institutional impacts are important to us? To our institutional leadership? To others?
to strengthen our understanding/awareness of current tools and strategies for assessing institutional engagement and examine their strengths and shortcomings in assessing institutional impacts
to consider alternative strategies for assessing institutional impacts: What questions should we be asking? What kinds of information should we be collecting? What methodologies make sense?
to share current campus level tools/strategies
to continue to build a network of scholars and practitioners
to identify potential collaborative work

The workshop will include presentations, breakout groups, and a mix of small and large group discussion. In this session we’ll provide information on qualitative and quantitative methods for examining these outcomes, and avenues for meaningful involvement by faculty, staff, administrators and others at your institution.
Learning from each other’s experience will be critical to the day. We’ll ask participants to share tools and approaches that they have used successfully (or unsuccessfully). There will also be time for “beginner” and “advanced” level discussions so that our individual work can be accelerated regardless of our individual starting points.
