CU Expo is a bi-annual, Canadian-led conference designed to showcase exemplars in community-campus partnerships worldwide, and together to introduce creative ways of strengthening local communities. The next conference, CU Expo 2015, will take place in Ottawa from May 25 through 29, 2015. CU Expo 2015 will be co-hosted by Carleton University and community partners and held in Ottawa, Ontario at Carleton University.
The Communities First: Impacts of Community Engagement (CFICE) project will provide leadership and coordination within Carleton in the design, development, implementation, and evaluation of CU Expo 2015. A SSHRC-funded, pan-Canadian Partnership initiative, CFICE aims to strengthen Canadian communities through action research on best-practice community-campus engagement.
Reporting directly to the CFICE Principal Investigator and Co-Manager, and working in collaboration with the CU Expo 2015 Conference Steering Committee (CSC) and Working Groups, the Conference Coordinator will work towards the key outcomes of planning and implementing a smooth and effective process that will ultimately result in a well-organized and well-attended conference.
This is a part time position (10 hours per week) from January- through December 2014, increasing to 15 hours per week from January 2015- May 2015 and full time for the duration of the conference through May 2015.
