Faculty Symposium

 

The 2012 Community Engaged Scholarship Track is designed for faculty, administrators, and advanced student leaders as a one-day conference on Tuesday, June 5th.  Designed in partnership by Carson-Newman College, the Bonner Foundation, faculty and administrators in the Bonner network and Tennessee Campus Compact network, this one-day conference will provide scholarly and practical knowledge and strategies for advancing community-engaged learning and academic-service connections. 

 

The Community Engaged Scholarship Track is open to participants at the Bonner Summer Leadership Institute (including faculty, administrators, and students) as well as individuals from national partner networks, such as Campus Compact, AAC&U, and Imagining America.  For individuals who don't ordinarily attend SLI, it is designed mainly as a one-day event for representatives from campuses in the region.  The event starts with registration and breakfast on June 5th at 8:00 am and will culminate at 5:00 pm that day.  See the schedule below.

 

This meeting happens concurrently with the Bonner Summer Leadership Institute, hosted by Carson-Newman College, which runs from the evening of June 4th to lunch on June 7th.  If you are interested in staying for additional programming on June 6-7 that is part of the Bonner Summer Leadership Institute, there will be other programming (particularly connected to building and managing a Bonner Program, as well as other topics for faculty development) available.  On-campus lodging and meals are available, for a fee, for this longer event.  Please contact Ariane Hoy (ahoy@bonner.org) and Nicole Saylor (nsaylor@cn.edu) for questions.

 

Purpose


 

The 2012 Community Engaged Scholarship Track will provide administrators and faculty with the opportunity to:

 

    • meet and network with colleagues from diverse institutions and backgrounds who share common hopes for more fully leveraging the resources of higher education to address and provide solutions to pressing community needs;
    • learn and share models for connecting community service with academic coursework, in the form of public scholarship, community-based research, service learning, and institutional initiatives;
    • co-present research and projects, community-based learning, and civic work in partnership with students and partners, in the spirit of the Bonner model that values student development, community impact, and campus infrastructure as linked processes;
    • identify professional advancement opportunities and strategies for institutionalizing engaged scholarship through incentives, rewards, changes to tenure and promotion, and linking these efforts with accreditation reports 
    • learn more about the relevancy of high-impact practices to the work of community engagement, including some exploration of the ways that the Bonner Network is exploring the integration of HIPs and HICEPs through the High-Impact Initiative
    • focus on replicable best practices for enhancing engaged scholarship, service-learning, community-based research and policy research—for example by learning how to better integrate students as colleagues in course leadership and organizational roles 
    • identify and integrate frameworks, evaluation and assessment tools for deepening public scholarship and institutionalization of community engaged learning, as well as demonstrating its effectiveness; 
    • engage in meaningful reflections and conversations with peers about the changes facing higher education and the potential for moving community engaged scholarship and engaged learning forward 

 

The 2012 Community Engaged Scholarship Track will address some special themes including:

 

  • Social entrepreneurism in the classroom
  • Using QEPs for service-learning and engaged scholarship
  • Faculty development models and tracks
  • Leveraging the National Assessment of Service and Community Engagement and other data sets
  • Students and partners as colleagues
  • Rewards, tenure and promotion

 

Presentation Opportunities

 


 

There will be three elective workshops on June 5th for which any attending participant may apply to present.  We especially hope to invite faculty members (especially in partnership with administrators and students) to present on any of the themes mentioned above. 

 

Preference will be given to workshops that actively engage participants in the topic of the session by modeling the the teaching strategy or brainstorming possible applications in the institution of the participants.

 

We particularly encourage presentations that involve a team of facilitators, including students and partners as well. See the full announcement and RFP by clicking on the link below.

 

Why should faculty attend?

 


 

This is a chance to connect, extend and deepen your work on community engaged learning and scholarship. By attending, individual faculty members traveling from campuses in the Bonner network will have the chance to deepen their relationships with the Bonner Programs on their own campuses.  Moreover, they will have a chance to network with colleagues in a national context. 

 

For representatives from campuses not involved in the Bonner network, this will likewise be a wonderful opportunity to connect, extend, and deepen your work.  Moreover, colleagues will have the chance to engage in the national learning community that the Bonner Foundation and network is working to create. This will provide faculty with the opportunity to receive professional development in pedagogy that facilitates community engagement for the benefit of all involved.

 

In addition, we foresee new opportunities for professional advancement, including the chance to present, write and publish projects, research and learningWe are in the process of solidifying new publication opportunities this year.  

 

Finally, this track will be:

 

    • low cost (as noted, there is no cost for attending only June 5th; those who would like to stay on campus may do so for a minimal fee)
    • fun and relaxed (with plenty of social time to meet and converse with other interesting professionals);
    • scholarly (with plenty of workshops and opportunities to discuss models and challenges, best practices, and ideas);
    • inspiring, (especially with the opportunity to meet engaged, committed student leaders, as well as staff from national civically-oriented organizations like AAC&U, Campus Compact, and others)
    • and, finally, a great opportunity to understand and leverage the experience and knowledge of our  state, regional, and national networks.
