Presenter: Allison Rank
This session provides an overview of the connection between higher education and civic engagement with a particular focus on what we know about the political knowledge and behavior of college students, the best practices for civic engagement in higher education, and strategies for how faculty and staff in range of disciplines and programs - including those not considered “political” - can meaningful incorporate civic content and skills into their work with students. This session is particularly recommended for faculty and staff who are interested in but have not previously incorporated civic content or skill building into their work in an intentional way.
