“Reimagining Penn State Engagement in Times of Change”

The 2021 Student Engagement Summit will feature a three-part workshop series designed to generate conversation among Penn State educators about student engagement. The series, entitled “Reimagining Penn State Engagement in Times of Change,” is intended to spur discussion about the nature of student engagement in an era of global pandemic, social unrest, economic downturn, and environmental crisis.

Penn State faculty of any rank, staff, and graduate instructors from any discipline are invited to join educators from across the Commonwealth to:

• Learn about Penn State student engagement efforts, programming/events, and projects;
• Learn how the University can support students’ and educators’ needs related to student engagement;
• Identify societal challenges, from now into the future, and from Pennsylvania to the world, that impact student engagement; and
• Build partnerships and relationships to help facilitate student engagement.

The three live, remote workshops will include presentations, large group discussions, interactive breakout sessions, and examination of current academic literature. The series will feature speakers from Penn State and other institutions. 

Participants will be added to the Student Engagement Summit Canvas course after registration is confirmed and will be asked to complete prework prior to each workshop. The series is being offered at no cost to participants by the Student Engagement Network (SEN).
