The Educated Citizen and Public Health CALL FOR APPLICATIONSThe Association of American Colleges and Universities, in partnership with the Association for Prevention Teaching and Research, is pleased to announce the next phase of The Educated Citizen and Public Health, a project designed to help faculty members create coherent undergraduate curricula that engage students with the world's major questions through the lens of public health. Faculty and administrative teams from as many as 48 colleges and universities (both those with public health schools and programs and those without them) will gather for an intensive, two-day institute. The institute, pending funding, will be held July 14-15, 2008, in Crystal City, VA, just outside of Washington, DC. Learn more about the project, or submit an application If you have questions about this project or the application process, please contact Nicole DeMarco (demarco@aacu.org; 202-387-3760, ext. 810). Diversity, Learning, and Inclusive Excellence: Accelerating and Assessing Progress October 16-18, 2008, Long Beach, California NEW! CALL FOR PROPOSALS This conference will highlight curricular, co-curricular, and institutional models that enable higher education leaders to develop, implement, assess, and continually learn from the experience of fostering diverse learning environments—environments in which all students develop, in increasingly sophisticated ways, critical knowledge, skills, and capacities for work and citizenship. The conference aims to help campuses take diversity efforts to the next level of comprehensive, coordinated action, where educational benefits for all students and for the institution more broadly, can be demonstrated in meaningful ways. In this new conceptualization, progress is marked by the integration of diversity and educational quality efforts as well as a move from isolated programs and course offerings to a network of policies and actions, including policies and actions around assessment. AAC&U’s Network for Academic Renewal invites proposals for sessions that will help colleges and universities fully integrate their diversity and educational quality efforts and embed them into the core of academic mission and institutional functioning.
