Call for Proposals
The American Democracy Project (ADP) at the American Association of State Colleges and Universities (AASCU) and NASPA are excited to announce the call for proposals is now open for the 2024 Civic Learning and Democratic Engagement Meeting (CLDE24) meeting which will take place in Detroit, Michigan from June 5–7, 2024.
Submit a proposal by Monday, Feb. 5
CLDE is the only conference that brings together higher education professionals from both student affairs and academic affairs each year in order to advance the civic learning and democratic movement in higher education.
Together, students, faculty, student affairs professionals, senior campus administrators, and community partners, come together to ensure that students who graduate from colleges and universities, both public and private, are prepared to be the informed, engaged citizens our communities and democracy need. We encourage teams–faculty, staff, and students at colleges and universities and especially multiple campus teams–to submit proposals; proposals that include outside partners will be referred to our sponsorship prospectus. Individual submissions from students, staff, and faculty are also encouraged.
