3CSN Presents: Civic Dialogues

3CSN Presents: Civic Dialogues 
Fridays from 11am to 1pm
September 18 to October 30

Dear colleagues,

3CSN invites you to join us for an exciting free series of Civic Dialogues, sponsored by Bringing Theory to Practice, for focusing greater attention on civic engagement in higher education. 

The 7-part series features national experts, scholars, and practitioners sharing and discussing the critical importance of civic engagement along with educational practices and models for increasing meaningful engagement on campuses.  

By participating in this series, you will:

  1. Advance your understanding of the intersectionality between equity and civic engagement for promoting the public good.
  2. Recognize civic, community and democratic engagement as a high impact practice for student success.
  3. Build capacity to leverage your current position, experience and knowledge for impacting positive local and global change.

Each weekly session of the series is two hours in length, from 11am to 1pm. During the first hour our guest speaker will share their topic and address your questions. This will be followed with a facilitated lunchtime discussion designed to help you consider how these ideas or models could be practiced on your campus or in your classrooms.
