Carleton Connects: Building and Celebrating Community Partnerships is a three day community-academic expo celebrating the 75th anniversary of Carleton University by showcasing our rich history of community partnerships.

The expo program committee invites proposals for discussion panels, presentations, workshops, exhibitions, performances, and/or posters from students, staff, faculty, and/or instructors working with community partners in the areas of:

  • sustainability,
  • accessibility,
  • global citizenship, or
  • Indigenous communities and knowledges.

We are especially interested in proposals that bring to the fore voices and experiences from multiple constituents, including, for example, community partners, students, and faculty members.

The event will include opportunities for participants to share knowledge about current partnerships; to develop new partnerships and networks; to share and reflect on experiences in community-campus partnerships; to celebrate student engagement in community partnerships; and to explore directions for the next 25 years of community-engaged teaching, research and service.

The deadline for submission is February 27, 2017. Find out more at the 75th anniversary webpage.
