Parking at the Conference:

In the past, the parking on the street along the fence of the Given Institute has been City property but this year, the City is requiring all cars to have permits or risk being ticketed.  As such, we encourage you to leave your vehicle at your hotel and walk to the Given Institute. Daily parking permits can also be obtained at City Market, the Wheeler Opera House, and the City building at 540 E. Main St.

Participant Narratives:

Participants are asked to submit by July 27 (email to Jennifer Hane at jhane@uccs.edu) a brief narrative of possibilities for engagement (could include current practices, application of theoretical framework to engagement, projection of research question into engagement activities or questions about engagement that positions themselves in the conversation).  Participants are invited to submit 2-3 page white papers or alternative representation (e.g., photos, video, interpretive dance). These narratives will be distributed via the website and displayed in the Given Institute lobby during the conference.
