The Experiential Record at Nazareth College is a systematic, campus-wide data collection initiative created in-house to track all undergraduate and graduate students’ participation in experiential education. Implemented last academic year, this new process enables Nazareth to gather various, independent streams of data into one place, creating a centralized knowledge hub of student engagement. Benefits to students, faculty, staff and community include: an increase in interprofessional collaboration, stronger advising and coaching of students, innovative support strategies developed for targeted student populations, stronger relationships with community partners and sustained partnerships, and increased knowledge of and access to student success stories for marketing and donor relations. Examples of dashboards and reports by way of Tableau, the data visualization tool Nazareth uses, will also be shared with participants.Campus Compact’s National Webinar series returns for 2019-2020 with more to support and inspire you.

This unique professional development opportunity for students interested in learning new ways of making a difference and building skills through civic and community engagement. The event will be held on November 8 and 9, 2019 at the University of Northern Iowa in Cedar Falls. Students from across the Midwest and beyond (undergraduate and graduate) are invited to learn from professionals across sectors. Sessions will offer skill-building in civic action including philanthropy, leadership, dialogue, advocacy and more. Students will also have a chance to learn what others are doing on other campuses and network with peers.

The future of community engagement work requires a framework that is strengths-based, centers historically underrepresented groups working towards justice on their terms, and includes an analysis of power, positionality, systemic causes of disparities, needs for institutional changes, and critiques of inclusion assumptions. This session will provide decolonizing practice resources, concrete examples, and a chance to reflect on how to apply the practices to your context. Examples include an interactive session focused on how instructors, trainers, and supervisors can create environments that feel relevant, welcoming, and safe to all participants. The session is relevant to instructors, researchers, AmeriCorps Vista trainers, and Campus Compact employees and administrators in both predominantly White institutions as well as contexts with a majority of first-generation college students and large percentages of minority students, employees, and volunteers.Campus Compact’s National Webinar series returns for 2019-2020 with more to support and inspire you.
