REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS
As the first decade of the 21st century comes to a close, pressing social and economic challenges have brought renewed attention to the importance of volunteerism and service in civic life. In these critical times, a national call for service is engaging citizens of all ages in creating innovative solutions for recovery. This dialogue brings new focus on the potential of service-learning and civic engagement to address local and global problems and to engage students, faculty, and community partners in civic renewal. Along with the growing needs in our communities, colleges and universities are also facing the challenge of building and sustaining engagement initiatives with limited resources. This conflict between crisis and opportunity raises many questions: As engagement comes of age, what role will people, place, and partners play in creating models for service-learning and civic engagement? How will we maintain quality as demand for service opportunities increases and resources tighten? How will place be understood as students and faculty engage in service-learning in both local and global contexts?
CONFERENCE TRACKS
Join colleagues at the 2010 Gulf-South Summit March 3-5, 2010 at the University of Georgia as we examine these questions critically and explore how people, place, and partners are building and sustaining engagement in critical times.

PEOPLE: The following are some of the potential topics that may be explored: student, faculty, or community partner outcomes; innovative programming; assessment and evaluation strategies; recruiting people; motivating and sustaining participation; roles, rewards and incentives; leadership and student-led programs; integration of social networking and other technology.
