<p class="MsoNormal">Dear colleagues,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Because we recently made the decision to shift this conference to a hybrid event – with opportunities to present and attend online – I want to ensure this community has an opportunity to consider submitting. We are particularly excited
to feature ATTW Vice President Natasha N. Jones as a keynote speaker for our writing beyond the university strand.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The <a href="https://www.centerforengagedlearning.org/conferences/2021-conference/">
annual Conference on Engaged Learning</a> (July 11-13, 2021) showcases cutting-edge research on engaged learning. Each annual conference features multi-institutional research from a specific <a href="https://www.centerforengagedlearning.org/cel-seminars/">Center
for Engaged Learning research seminar</a>, invites research updates from past seminar participants and conference presenters, and encourages contributions from other scholars and practitioners studying engaged learning practices. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We invite scholars interested in <b>writing beyond the university</b>, capstone experiences, and other engaged learning topics (see the theme categories in the
<a href="https://www.centerforengagedlearning.org/conferences/2021-conference/call-for-proposals/">
full call for proposals</a>, including global learning, mentored undergraduate research, residential learning communities, and cross-cutting questions about engaged learning) to join the culminating conversations of the <a href="https://www.centerforengagedlearning.org/cel-seminars/ce/">2018-2020
Research Seminar on Capstone Experiences</a> and <b>the <a href="https://www.centerforengagedlearning.org/cel-seminars/writing-beyond-the-university-research-seminar/">2019-2021 Research Seminar on Writing Beyond the University</a></b> at the 2021 Conference
on Engaged Learning at Elon University, July 11-13, 2021. We particularly encourage proposals that attend to diversity, inclusion, and equity within or across these engaged learning practices.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We anticipate hosting the conference as a hybrid event, with options to attend in-person on Elon’s campus or online. We will regularly assess whether a move to a fully online format is merited. We will post updates on this conference website.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Proposals are due by February 1, 2021, following the <a href="https://www.centerforengagedlearning.org/conferences/2021-conference/call-for-proposals/">
online submission guidelines</a>. Please consider submitting a proposal and share the call with others on your campuses.<o:p></o:p></p>
