As in past Regional Campus Compact Conferences, our audience comprised
students, faculty, community service and service-learning directors, Academic
Deans, Department Chairs and community partners. This year’s conference
title and theme was“Telling Our Stories: Measuring Our Impact.”
This event provided the opportunity to exchange innovative practices,
theories, philosophies, and research across the Northeast. Our goal was

Engaging
Democracy through the Humanities: Proceedings
from the May 2004 Institute
The first of VCC's Democracy Institutes focused on the Humanities. The
Engaging Democracy Through the Humanities Institute was offered in Vermont
to humanities faculty across Northern New England in May 2004. Participants
in this Institute came together to ask "How can humanities faculty
better engage democracy as a crucial component of public life?" Three
days of intense reading, discussion, community work and collective consideration
of this question produced some strategies for "engaging democracy"
through humanities courses.
