Students are invited to attend the Iowa Civic Action Academy Nov. 3–4 at Grand View University in Des Moines. This is a professional development opportunity for students interested in learning new ways of making a difference and building skills through civic and community engagement. Students from across the state and beyond are invited to learn from professionals across sectors. Sessions will offer skill-building in civic action including philanthropy, nonprofit leadership, dialogue, advocacy, and more. Students will also have a chance to learn what others are doing on other campuses and network with peers.

Cost to attend is approximately $80. Scholarships are available through the Office of Community Engaged Learning. Please contact Amanda Martin at amanda.martin@drake.edu no later than Oct. 12 if you would like to apply for a scholarship. The deadline to register for the conference is Oct. 22, and can be done online.
