Civic Engagement Administrator Conference (CEAC)

This annual conference, launched in 2003, is designed for faculty and staff who facilitate campus civic engagement efforts. The conference offers deep reflection about civic engagement work through presentations and workshops, facilitated discussions and networking. The conference usually occurs in late spring/early summer at a campus in the Charlotte region of the state.

For the 2012 Conference NC Campus Compact partnered with East Carolina University’s Office of Public Service and Community Relations to sponsor "Tracking and Measuring Community Engagement:  Articulating Methods that Align with Current and Future Institutional Goals."  In two one-day sessions, one at East Carolina University and one at Queens University of Charlotte,  Dr. Barbara Holland , Director of Academic Initiatives in Social Inclusion for the University of Sydney in Australia, helped participants clarify their institutional goals and objectives for tracking engagement activity, identify target audiences and their expectations, explore strategies and techniques for developing a sustainable data collection plan that aligns with institutional needs and goals and captures the perspectives of diverse constituencies. To continue to support member campuses in exploring this topic further, NC Campus Compact created the Measuring Community Impact initiative.  Please visit the MCI website for more details.
