2014 Utah Campus Compact Moab Faculty Retreat Friday, January

2014 Utah Campus Compact Moab Faculty Retreat Friday, January 31 – Saturday, February 1, 2014 Announcement and Call for Proposals The Utah Campus Compact (UCC) Moab Faculty Retreat is designed by the Faculty Development Network (FDN) to give faculty, administrators, community partners, and advanced practitioners the opportunity to address key issues in community engagement including service‐learning, community‐based research and the culture of engagement on our campuses. Participants will have the opportunity to explore these issues over the course of an evening and morning. We are soliciting proposals for a series of sessions throughout the retreat. These sessions will be supplemented by additional networking and gathering opportunities facilitated by the FDN. Together these opportunities to learn together will construct an enriching retreat experience.
