About the conference

Our biennial conference celebrates the significant achievements that stem from partnerships between university and community and explores some of the contemporary challenges of university-community engagement and service-learning.

Since 2019, our two institutions have worked together to share information, lessons learned, successful practices and innovative ideas to deepen engagement with our respective communities. In doing so, we have furthered our collaboration with each other and strengthened our institutions' community engagement practice. This collaboration, coordinated by ACU Engagement and DePaul's Steans Center, thus far has resulted in four conferences, student exchanges and a study tour, and extensive professional learning encounters

Presented in partnership with DePaul University, Chicago.
