Summit 2016 Call for Proposals - Submit your ideas by January 20th

New to the Summit this year,
we are excited to organize

 
A Pop-up Market for Innovations
&
Deep Dive Working Sessions

You are invited to submit one or both of the following: 

1) A "Promising Practice" to Share During the Pop-up Market for Innovations

Tell us about a promising practice, tool, initiative, resource, policy, etc that you would like to share at the Summit because you think others will be interested in learning more about it. The purpose of the Pop-up Market for Innovations is to build awareness about your promising practices through a 5-10 minute "pitch" to small audiences circulating around the Market. Your task will be to quickly and meaningfully engage folks in the marketplace to look at and think a bit about your promising practice and how it might fit into their campus context.

2) An "Emerging Practice Area" for Co-Developing a Deep Dive Working Session 

Propose an idea you are grappling with, a challenge you are facing, a question or a resource/ policy/ process/ strategy you are working on that you would like to collaborate with the Planning Committee to develop into a working session for Summit 2016. The purpose of these working sessions will be to leverage experience and skills from across the community or practice to enhance collective capacity for advancing efforts to develop mentally healthy campus communities. 

Potential Working Session Categories:
  • Alcohol and substance use policies 
  • Campus mental health and wellbeing strategies – from development to implementation 
  • Developing and applying a “mental health and wellbeing lens” to post-secondary policies  
  • Dialogue as a mechanism for engagement and change 
  • Evaluation of settings and whole systems approaches
