Community-Campus Partnerships for Health's 9th Conference
May 31 - June 3, 2006
Minneapolis, Minnesota USA

With the remarkable expansion of interest and investment in community-campus
partnerships, the time is right to take a critical look at these partnerships
in all of their iterations and ask (and answer) key questions about where we
are now, where we are going and where we need to be. Where is the community in
community-campus partnerships? How do we fully realize authentic partnerships?
What are the barriers and challenges getting in our way? How do we overcome
these, individually and collectively?

Community-Campus Partnerships for Health's 9th conference promises to address
these questions and more as we create a vision for the future of
community-campus partnerships as a strategy for social justice.  Gain knowledge
and skills in service-learning, community-based participatory research,
community and economic development, partnership development and more!

It's not too early to start planning to participate!
