This annual conference provides participants with valuable information and skills they can utilize
in their civic engagement work. Workshops, presented by faculty, staff, students and community partners, provide "how to", "best practice" and "research and theory" information and resources for any aspect of civic engagement work, including curricular and co-curriculuar courses, projects and programs and capacity-building and institutionalization efforts.
This conference started in 1998 at Elon University as the Service-Learning Institute. NC Campus Compact became the conference sponsor starting in 2003, although the event is still hosted at Elon. In 2004 it became the Service-Learning Conference. In 2009, NC Campus Compact changed the name to P.A.C.E. in response to the expansion of workshop topics and themes beyond service-learning to include such topics as community-based research, philanthropy and campus-community partnership development. While acknowledging service-learning as a critical pedagogy that assists faculty in integrating academic learning with civic practice, this new name recognizes that service-learning is just one pathway for connecting the campus with the community to create the "engaged campus."
