Workshops

The IMPACT Conference brings together college students, non-profit professionals, campus administrators, and teams of service members to share experiences, stories, and resources in their work for social change. Each year IMPACT hosts a robust group of workshop presenters to share their extensive knowledge and experience with our attendees. Previous workshop sessions have covered many topics, including:

Action & Advocacy
Administrators
Alternative Breaks
Community Partnerships
Community Service Programs
Equity & Access
Global

Inclusion & Diversity
Leadership Skills
Professional Development
Service Learning
Social Entrepreneurship
Social Issues
Social Media & Technology

Spirituality & Faith
Sustainability
Trends & Research
Volunteer Management
Year of Service & Post-Collegiate Experiences

For our 2024 Conference, we are introducing three new Workshop formats for our presenters to choose from. We hope these options will allow for a greater variety of approaches and topics to be featured while creating greater access to a wider range of presenters.

Workshops are 75-minute interactive sessions intended to highlight the presenter’s knowledge and/or practice on a given topic. Presenters will engage the participants in an active learning environment and/or knowledge sharing.

Practical Application sessions are intended to highlight a program or event that relates to IMPACT’s Mission, Vision, or Values. These sessions offer attendees the opportunity to learn about the practical application of programs/events. Facilitators should share intended/actual outcomes of the program/event, implications, and recommendations for practice. These sessions are 75 minutes in total with two (2) presenters per concurrent session. Presenters will have 22 minutes to share their program or event as well as questions/answers. Any remaining time will be for questions on any of the three presentations.

Roundtables are 75-minute sessions that allow for attendees to engage in idea sharing and conversation about a shared topic of interest.  These are informal opportunities for attendees to learn from one another about current practices and/or develop new solutions for their campuses. Facilitators of Roundtable discussions will introduce a topic and help guide participants in conversation. Presenters may propose a 35-minute or 75-minute discussion. Facilitators of 35-minute discussions may be asked to lead the same discussion twice with different participants within one 75-minute Roundtable session.

We are pleased to announce that our 2024 Workshops Proposal Application is now live! Deadline to submit an application is October 23rd, 2023 at 11:59PM ET.
