This video titled, “North Carolina Campus Compact 15th Anniversary,” was celebrating its 15th anniversary. The video began with a question, “Does community engagement in higher education still matter?” Leo M. Lambert, 8th Elon University President, answered the question by stating, “An active North Carolina Campus Compact brings together our common purpose, which is too encourage each and every student to have a deep sense of civic engagement – which is what higher education is all about. And I think we have done this very well.” Jenny Fukunaga, Elon University, Class of 2017, spoke about being engaged in the community. Jennifer Gonzalez Reyes, Guilford College, Class of 2019, talked about the struggles that she had to go through as a young child – she sees herself within the young students. Joshua Leeper, University of North Carolina at Greensboro, Class of 2017, stated, “He could not fail the students because the students are looking up to him.” Danny Rodas, Guilford College, Class of 2019, said, “If you feel comfortable in the things that you do, you are not doing it right, and if you feel uncomfortable, then you are doing something correct.” Jashawna Gladney, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Class of 2017, said, “If the resource is not available, do not be afraid to create the resource.” Aaron Marshall, Western Carolina University, Class of 2014, spoke of seeing the impact of service by engaging and empowering in service. Mary K. Grant, Vice-Chair of National Campus Compact Executive Board, Chancellor, University of North Carolina at Asheville, stated, “Having theory put into practice is when they are taking ideas from the classroom, when they are bring them into the community. It also inspires communities to engage with their universities. My hope is that our students are out there in the community; we are introducing a University of North Carolina, Asheville, to the next generation of college students.” Leslie Garvin, Executive Director of North Carolina Campus Compact said, “We are responsible for preparing students for civic and social responsibility.” Video photo of Leo and Laurie Lambert in a soup kitchen.
