NHED Regional Civic Engagement Forum
Friday, November 14, 10:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.
Mesabi Range College
Eveleth Campus Commons
Mesabi Range College is pleased to host a Civic Engagement Forum in conjunction with Minnesota Campus Compact. This two-hour regional forum will bring together the five colleges of the Northeast Higher Education District as well as secondary school districts, legislators, and community members. The goal of the forum is to use testimonies to attest to the power of civic engagement programs in enhancing the education of our students and benefiting our communities. A panel response and discussion will identify ways of building on successes and expanding regional impact.
As facilitator of this discussion, we are excited to have Larry Goodwin, President of The College of St. Scholastica and Chair of the Minnesota Campus Compact Board of Directors. We are also thrilled with our five panelists—it’s shaping up to be a dynamic discussion! Mesabi Range College employee Beth Peterson; Liz Kuoppala works as Associate Director of the Minnesota Coalition for the Homeless; Chris Ismil is the Program Director for Iron Range Youth in Action; Steve Potts, an instructor at Hibbing Community College; and Dr. Sue Collins will be rounding out the discussion from her unique perspective as NHED’s President.
We will also be joined by the Interim Executive Director of Minnesota Campus Compact, Jim Scheibel. Mr. Scheibel was Mayor of St. Paul from 1990 to 1994. After completing his term as Mayor, Mr. Scheibel served as Vice President of the Corporation for National Service and directed AmeriCorps VISTA as well as the Senior Corps at the during the Clinton administration.
