June 6 - June 8, 2013, Denver, Colorado
Call for Proposals

The theme calls attention to the educational experiences and civic skills needed by today's college graduates.

The first step in problem solving and working with others is building bridges to understanding different perspectives; skills required not only in the workforce but needed even more in our fractured democracy.
