Early registration reduced rates available now through September 3, 2009
AAC&U has opened registration for its first meeting of the next academic year - Educating for Personal and Social Responsibility: Deepening Student and Campus Commitments. We encourage you to register early to take advantage of the best rates.
The
conference will bring together faculty, student affairs personnel,
academic administrators, students, and others to explore how
to move education for personal and social responsibility to
the center of institutional culture and academic practice.
The program will feature promising practices that develop
students' civic engagement and social responsibility in both
a local and global context; personal and academic integrity;
ability to examine and understand differing (and often competing)
perspectives; and ethical and moral reasoning.
