NORTH CAROLINA CAMPUS COMPACT
8th Annual
Civic Engagement Administrator Conference
May 26, 2010 Barton College, Wilson, NC
KEYNOTE ADDRESS “BUILDING IN PLACE”
Dr. Talmage A. Stanley, Emory & Henry College Associate Professor, Director, Appalachian Center for Community Service, Chair, Department of Public Policy & Community Service
Director, Bonner Scholars Program
What are the processes of building a civic engagement program that enacts a place-based model of education and service? We will work together to examine the importance of place to building sustainable civic engagement programs that challenge the traditional boundaries of classroom and world, teacher and student; calling participants to struggle with questions of individual and collective citizenship; understanding local problems as expressions of global issues, equipping persons to be agents of change.

Department of Public Policy and Community Service Dr. Talmage Stanley, Emory & Henry College Please note that this session is a 2-part session and will continue in the second Showcase.
Dr. Stanley describes this interdisciplinary program focused on civic engagement, designed to instill an understanding of the linkages between justice, place, citizenship, service, community building, and social change and the effects of local, regional, national, and global structures and institutions on these processes and realities. The degree program provides skills in place-based analysis and action research. Defining conceptual themes include place, hegemony, ideology, social capital, sustainability, relational models of power, communal practices of education, shared leadership, and justice.
Guilford College Community Garden Amanda Szabo, Guilford College
The Guilford College Community Garden serves Guilford's campus and Greensboro's community with 20 beds, individually or organizationally rented and cared for. Learn about the process we went through working with the county, city, and campus to bring a long-awaited garden to fruition. We will also explore other ways campuses further food security in their communities.
Service-Learning Designation Jessica Gagne Cloutier, East Carolina University Get an intimate look at ECU’s service-learning designation process from inception to implementation including: a) development of a campus definition for SL and criteria for SL courses; b) development and approval of the designation application; c) initial implementation of the designation including review of the applications and resolution of SL course expectations; and d) revision of the designation materials, processes, and faculty support initiatives.
The Campus Kitchen Kendra Paisley, Wake Forest University The Campus Kitchen at Wake Forest is a Food Recycling program that uses cooked but never served food from the campus dining hall to make healthy and nutritious meals for the needy of our community. Our Campus Kitchen has quite a history. It grew out of a student run program called Homerun started by two Wake Forest Juniors in 1999. Karen Borchert and Jessica Jackson went on to start the national program called “The Campus Kitchens Project.”
Building Skills for Social Change Dr. Stacey Reimer, Davidson College Building Skills for Social Change is a workshop series co-sponsored by the Davidson College Community Service Office and the Lake Norman Community Development Council.

Service in Action - A “Buffet” of Service: A Jumping Off Point for Stronger Service Learning Relationships Andrea Chiz, Central Piedmont Community College Learn a new way to strengthen partnerships with agencies, students and faculty as well as build student retention through the program Service in Action. Join us for the “nuts-and-bolts” of how to run this series of one-day service projects that develops student leaders, leads to long-term service, helps with career exploration, and also gets community partners in the game by highlighting a different agency and community need each week. The Guilford Initiative on Faith and Practice James Shields, Guilford College This is a five-year program sponsored by a grant from Lilly Endowment, Inc in the second round of their Programs for the Theological Exploration of Vocation. The initiative seeks to shape a campus environment in which faith and vocation are understood to be central to the educational enterprise at Guilford College. Guilford is experimenting with ways to help students, faculty and staff come into their own deepest Wisdom (what Friends might call Truth, the Inward Teacher or the Light) so that they can better integrate life purpose and commitments with action and direction in the world in service to others.
Civic Engagement Scholars/Civic Engagement Council Mary Morrison, Elon University Elon’s Civic Engagement Council is comprised of faculty, staff, alumni and administrators working on civic engagement initiatives. The purpose of the Council is to coordinate, recognize and encourage civic engagement on and off campus.
The Civic Engagement Scholars is a program with an academic cohort of undergraduate students that explore civic engagement, social entrepreneurship and social change by combining academic course work and service-learning. Students are encouraged to develop innovative solutions to community problems in collaboration with community partners. Scholars have both curricular and co-curricular activities in the program.
Civic Place Jennifer Cooper, Western Carolina University Civic Place is a living-learning community sponsored by the Center for Service Learning at Western Carolina University.
