The discussion we had forced me to think critically about the impact of my service in a way I have never done before. I look forward to continuing my education of social justice and how I can IMPACT my community.

This conference was amazing! The workshops I went to taught me so much and empowered me to take action and the opportunities fair was an incredible experience!
Sitting with Dustin from the planning committee during the second social networking session was great. Really walked away with some great ideas to help our campus become more involved and invested in diversity
Dr. Adolph Brown was an excellent presenter and motivator. He has a wealth of real life experiences to share and he shows how through motivation and dedication to success, you can and will succeed.
IMPACT 2012 has been an absolutely amazing experience. I had the opportunity to learn about topics I’m not as familiar with and to improve on my knowledge and add to it through all of the different sessions.
I have definitely learned a lot of interesting things that I otherwise would have never learned. Great job in coordinating this conference shout out to the IMPACT Committee
My experience here at Stetson for the IMPACT conference has been very informative and enthusiastic! I’ve enjoyed myself thoroughly.
Meanwhile, a huge thank you to everyone who helped make the 2012 Conference a success!
Thank you to all of the participants, sponsors, workshop presenters and planning committee for making the 2012 IMPACT National Conference a great success!
We had nearly 500 students, campus staff, year of service members, and nonprofit professionals from across the country for a weekend of resource-sharing,training and inspiration.
Next year’s conference will be held in a new time frame: early February in order to avoid conflicts with alternative break service programs. Check back in mid-May for details on the exact dates and location including host campus.
What is the IMPACT Conference?
The IMPACT Conference is historically the largest annual conference focused on the civic engagement of college students in community service, service-learning, community-based research, advocacy and other forms of social action. Building on the rich 28-year tradition of the COOL Conference and the Idealist Campus Conference, IMPACT is the one time during the year when students, administrators, faculty, AmeriCorps members and VISTAs, and nonprofit professionals gather together to learn and share effective practices, improve personal skills and organizational strategies, discover opportunities and resources, exchange stories, be inspired and challenged to sustain our efforts.
