Colleagues:

Welcome to the Outreach NOW conference series. These conferences are designed to increase the participation and advancement of Virginia Tech faculty, staff, students, and community partners in outreach and engagement. The Office of the Vice President for Outreach and International Affairs and the Commission on Outreach and International Affairs co-sponsor Outreach NOW.

This annual conference will create a forum to discuss the critical issues facing the academy and outreach and engagement. Plan to attend Outreach NOW 2008, The Promise of Campus-Community Partnerships: Learning through Student Engagement, September 8, 2008, at The Inn at Virginia Tech and Skelton Conference Center.

Sincerely,

Jeri L. Childers
