Call for Speakers: Spirit of Civic Engagement Summit

The McCall Center for Civic Engagement at Pacific University is looking for speakers to participate in the first Spirit of Civic Engagement Summit, scheduled for April 6, 2024. The theme is Balanced Activism: Staying Engaged without Being Consumed and the audience will be a select group of students, staff, and community partners engaged in service and activism in our community.

Speaker sessions will be one hour long, taking place between 9 a.m. and 1 p.m. We are happy to offer an honorarium of $250 and if a speaker is traveling from more than 75 miles away, we may be able to provide overnight accommodations. Speakers will be invited to participate in the full half-day program, which will include speaker sessions, a keynote, breakfast, and lunch.

We are open to any session topic which speaks to your passions, experiences, and hopes for the upcoming year, and invite you to share your ideas with us. We would be happy to work with you to craft session titles and explore format options (e.g. interactive workshop vs. storytelling vs roundtable), if you have an idea but are not exactly sure how you might present it.

Please email the McCall Center for Civic Engagement with your interest and/or questions. We hope to finalize a speaker lineup by March 6, so we would appreciate hearing from you no later than March 1. Thank you!
