In addition, there will be an online info session on November 1, 4pm Berlin time. Hosted by Erin Cannan, Vice President for Civic Engagement at Bard College Annandale. Open to all students in the OSUN network. Join via Zoom.
Get Engaged is a student leadership and civic engagement focused conference. The conference brings together students who lead community based projects together from across the Open Society University Network. Students share lessons learned, discuss challenges and opportunities, collaborate on network initiatives and attend skills-based leadership workshops that include leadership, public speaking, networking, community partnerships, innovation and creativity, fundraising and grant writing, and emotional intelligence. In 2023, 6 BCB students participated. For more about last year's conference, see here.
