11th Annual National Outreach Scholarship Conference to Be Held October 4-6



Engaged scholarship involves researching ideas that let academic and community organizations collaborate on various civic service projects. From October 4-6, North Carolina State University will invite college members and community partners to discuss this topic.

At the 11th Annual National Outreach Scholarship Conference, in Raleigh's Convention Center, participants will explore authenticity and sustainability as significant components of engaged scholarship. The five main questions (who, what, when, why, and how) will be the focus of the conference, and will be based on five categories: program, place, people, process, and philosophy. These "tracks" are supposed to invite a diversity of perspectives and experiences reflecting the university's commitment to engaged discovery, learning, application, and integration.

Proposals are no longer accepted, but there is still time to register for the conference. Registering before August 1 for any of the conference sessions gives participants a lower "early bird" fee.

For more information on the conference, including details on how to win free registrations to next year's conference, please visit the official event page.
