This is the largest and most inclusive national conference focused on the role of higher education in building healthy communities and fostering a just and equal democracy.

A Better Way Forward
In the past two years, we have faced a COVID-19 pandemic, an overdue racial justice reckoning, and deep threats to our democracy. The turbulence of our recent history has clearly illustrated our shortcomings—and the possibilities for positive change. It is the responsibility of higher education to seize the opportunity of this moment to build a new, more just world.
Compact22 is designed to help campus professionals build healthy communities and foster a just and equal democracy. Sessions will explore topics such as civic engagement, community-engaged research, civic- and service-learning, institutional change, university-community partnerships, and more.
This national gathering will provide resources, professional development, networking opportunities, and inspiration to create the positive change we seek. Member community engagement professionals, engaged faculty, community partners, student civic leaders, and campus senior leaders will find information to help them move forward.
Keynote Speaker
Campus Compact has announced that the keynote speaker for Compact22 will be Dr. Bettina Love. Dr. Love is an award-winning author and the Athletic Association Endowed Professor of Education at the University of Georgia. Her writing, teaching, research, and education advocacy meet at the intersection of education reform, anti-racism, carceral studies, abolition, and Black joy.
