\"Portrait<\/a>Excerpt from original article in the 2016 issue of\u00a0The Engaged Scholar Journal<\/a>\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Natalia: Ted, may we first reflect back on the C2UExpo that\u00a0took place in Ottawa in 2015. I understand that you got\u00a0involved in this \u2018community-to-university\u2019 conference\u00a0because of your experience and long-term involvement in CES in Canada. It is also my understanding that you partook in earlier conferences as well. What was unique\u00a0about Ottawa 2015 C2U conference in comparison to others that were held earlier?<\/p>\n

Ted: The conference that influenced me most personally was CUExpo 2008, held at the University of Victoria. It was well-organized, well-attended and really had, thanks to its organizers, a movement<\/em> purpose and feel to it-appropriately. It was place-based and very respectful of, and reliant on, local indigenous lands and knowledge. Plus, the organizers engaged funders, particularly\u00a0the granting councils, in direct, non-transactional dialogue, and pushed into some new areas, like the edgy citizen-science group they invited from France. However, all the conferences in the CUExpo series\u2014including Waterloo in 2011 and Corner Brook in 2013\u2014have successfully reflected local strengths and cultures, worked\u00a0closely with community groups, and, at the same time, contributed to the growth of a pan-Canadian movement for community-based research and engaged scholarship. I have no\u00a0doubt that C2UExpo 2017 at Simon Fraser University will do the same, very successfully.<\/p>\n

Attendees built their ideals of community together using lego at C2UExpo 2015. \u00a9Chris Roussakis, Carleton University 2015<\/p><\/div>\n

In our case, we talked to past organizers and tried to build on their experience and insights. In addition to a core of excellent staff and advisors at Carleton University, we benefited from the valuable advice of 60 volunteers, both practitioners and scholars, from across Canada through various planning committees. For C2UExpo 2015\u2014the 2015 Community, College and University Exposition\u2014we wanted to achieve three specific things beyond mobilizing a lot of diverse players to participate (which itself takes some work!).<\/p>\n

First, working with Algonquin College, we explicitly integrated the community colleges, which do a lot of outreach, into conference planning and the program.<\/p>\n

Second, we featured speakers who could make visible the connections between engaged scholarship and federal, provincial and local policy change, in such areas as the call for a national inquiry\u00a0on missing and murdered Aboriginal women, community development in Newfoundland, social innovation by Millennials, and pension plans for non-profits, among others.<\/p>\n

Third, we actively sought presenters from Aboriginal and other diverse communities and projects, succeeding pretty well there, too. And we were delighted that Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) used the C2UExpo 2015 platform to announce its new focus on Aboriginal research.<\/p>\n

A less explicit objective was to diversify the\u00a0funding base of the CUExpo conference model, and we made some gains there, as well, mobilizing financial support from four private foundations, SSHRC, the host institutions, the Community First: Impacts of Community Engagement (CFICE) project and others,\u00a0including The Engaged Scholar Journal<\/em>. We also intentionally sourced conference \u201cswag\u201d from ethical businesses, which, I believe, was a first.<\/p>\n
