NASPA’s Civic Learning and
Democratic Engagement (CLDE) Conference offers a professional development
opportunity to educate participants about the civic and democratic work
championed by the field of student affairs. Designed for those new
to civic engagement roles as well as seasoned practitioners, the CLDE conference
offers a variety of dynamic learning opportunities to enhance civic engagement
work by student affairs practitioners. Participants will acquire
knowledge, build skills, learn from best practices and current research to
develop their professional competencies and gain a more comprehensive
understanding of civic learning and democratic engagement.
The NASPA CLDE conference
is also supported by our Lead Initiative, a project recognizing a network
of 73 postsecondary institutions for their commitment to civic learning
and democratic engagement. Special sessions (TBD) will share the
work and findings of institutions involved with this initiative.
