2013 CIVIC ENGAGEMENT AND SUSTAINABILITY SUMMIT
Alfred State College
June 6, 2012

Call for poster presentations

Higher education sustainability and civic engagement initiatives are increasingly working together for mutual benefit. To support this emerging trend and begin to identify models and best practices for such partnerships, New York Campus Compact and the New York State Sustainability Education Working Group are soliciting poster presentations highlighting successful collaboration between campus sustainability and civic engagement initiatives.

Selected posters will be incorporated into a day-long summit in June 6 at Alfred State College in Alfred, NY and may be featured as a case study in a forthcoming publication. The summit is a per-conference event in conjunction with Alfred State’s “Innovation in Technical Education to Advance Sustainability: Student Leadership” conference. Join us to tell your story, learn about such collaborative initiatives at other higher education institutions, and network with colleagues.

Guidelines for Poster Presentations

Posers should include a balance of pictures and graphics with minimal but substantive text.
Posters should highlight an innovative practice.
Posters should complement an oral presentation of 5 – 10 minutes in length.

Poster Presentations might include:

Innovative collaborative campus events that have integrated sustainability projects with civic engagement principles.
Innovative course structures that leverage service-learning pedagogy to engage in sustainability projects on- and/or off-campus.
Community service initiatives that focus on improving environmental practices and also incorporate elements of service-learning, such as critical reflection and mutually beneficial service.

To submit your poster for consideration, please go to

Submission deadline has been extended to May 1, 2012 at 5pm.

INTEGRATING DESIGN AND SERVICE-LEARNING WITHIN THE CURRICULUM

Date: June 12-14, 2013
Where: Purdue University, West Lafayette, Indiana
EPICS is a curricular approach in which multi-disciplinary design teams address needs within local and global communities. EPICS was created at Purdue University and has been adopted at more than 20 universities and colleges, engaging students from their first-year through senior year and even capstone design.
The workshop will provide information, tools, and resources needed to create an EPICS course and will be facilitated by the directors of EPICS with experience from more than 50 faculty workshops on service-learning and design. Topics include course/curriculum, capstone courses, entrepreneurship, partnerships, institutional support, and assessment, evaluation. The workshop will actively engage participants to learn the principles and include presentations, discussions and individual reflections so that participants can develop a customized plan that can be applied to their own institution.
Who should attend? Current and future faculty and instructors and partners interested in:
* Design Learning
