Please join us for the 2013 annual Oklahoma Campus Compact workshop. The workshop this year takes a new aspect by viewing civic and community engagement through the lens of science disciplines. Our special presenter, Dr. Robert Franco, is a professor of Pacific Anthropology, as well as Coordinator of the Service-Learning Emphasis, and Director of the Office for Institutional Effectiveness, at Kapiolani Community College, University of Hawaii. Dr. Franco has extensive experience as a member of Campus Compact’s Consulting Corps, specializing in assessment and evaluation, building community partnerships, and consulting on the Carnegie Community Engagement elective classification. Dr. Franco is currently working with an NSF grant to EPSCoR and Campus Compact to increase student interest in science as a major through civic and community engagement. His full biography is attached.
As part of this special focus, campuses are encouraged to invite interested STEM faculty to attend, in particular, members of the Oklahoma Academy of Science and secondary science educators. Please forward this invitation to appropriate faculty on your campus.
