NERCHE Virtual Think Tank
"Assessing and Rewarding Civic Engagement"3-part series
The New England Resource Center for Higher Education (NERCHE) Virtual Think Tanks are webinars, or virtual discussions, designed to engage higher education practitioners in the exploration of collaborative change processes which address social justice in a diverse democracy.
As campuses continue to shift their policies and practices so that they more fully embrace their commitment to civic engagement, important efforts have emerged to identify rigorous sets of outcomes on a campus-wide basis as well as within the curricular and co-curricular realm. This series will explore various ways in which this institutional commitment takes shape on campus, exploring outcomes across the institution as a whole, within individual classrooms and/or student affairs sponsored activities, and within the faculty reward system.
Total cost is $810 for the series. Learn more here. |
