The Richard E. Cone Award recognizes an individual whose work is guided by the best practices of community-campus partnerships and who seeks to ensure these practices become a part of the life of his or her home institution.
Dr. Richard E. Cone has been a voice in the national dialogue on experiential education, civic engagement and service-learning since the 1970s, and has provided a guiding spirit and voice in the development and evolution of California Campus Compact since its beginnings more than 20 years ago. In 1999, California Campus Compact presented Dick Cone with the first Richard E. Cone Award for Excellence & Leadership in Cultivating Community Partnerships in Higher Education. Since then, the award has been bestowed annually upon an individual who has made significant contributions to the development of partnerships between communities and institutions of higher education -- partnerships through which student learning and the quality of life in communities are simultaneously improved.
In an academic year that is bound to be filled with challenges, we believe that it is especially important to recognize faculty and staff who dedicate themselves to the development of partnerships between communities and higher education. We urge all of our member institutions to nominate someone on your campus whose work embodies the vision and value of community-campus partnerships.
The deadline for receipt of nominations is Wednesday, November 18, 2009. The Call for Nominations can be downloaded by clicking here. If you have any questions, please contact Piper McGinley at 415-338-3342.
