Community Engagement, Service Learning and Solidarity

Welcome to the DePaul-ACU Conference on Community Engagement, Service Learning, and Solidarity

In Fall 2023, DePaul University was proud to host this third iteration of the Conference on Community Engagement and Service Learning in partnership with Australian Catholic University (ACU). 

Since 2019, our two institutions have worked together to share information, lessons learned, successful practices and innovative ideas to deepen engagement with our respective communities. In doing so, we have furthered our collaboration with each other and deepened our practice of community engagement.

The 2023 conference was another successful gathering, and we were pleased to host ​our friends from ACU at DePaul and to welcome them to the Windy City.
