SESSION DESCRIPTION
Meet staff of Community-Campus Partnerships for Health, learn about building
service-learning opportunities into your curriculum, discover successful
partnership models, and explore possibilities for collaboration within the
campus community and with the communities we serve.
Community-Campus Partnerships for Health (CCPH) is a non-profit organization
based in Seattle that promotes health through partnerships between communities
and higher educational institutions. Founded in 1997, CCPH is a growing
network of communities and campuses throughout the United States, and
increasingly the world, that are collaborating to promote health through
service-learning, community-based participatory research, broad-based
coalitions, and other partnership strategies. CCPH's goals include: building
the capacity of communities and higher educational institutions to engage each
other as partners; incorporating service-learning and community-based
participatory research into health professional education; recognizing and
rewarding community-based teaching, research, and service; and developing
partnerships that balance power and share resources among partners.

During this session, participants will:
*Learn about CCPH's history, mission, programs, and lessons learned.
*Explore diverse examples of current-community campus partnerships in BC
*Discuss and envision the future of community-campus partnerships and
strategies for realizing that vision.
