Each year, the Center for Democracy and Civic Life organizes a delegation to a national meeting hosted by the American Democracy Project. (This meeting previously was known as the Civic Learning and Democratic Engagement (CLDE) Meeting.) Members of the UMBC delegation have the opportunity to share thoughts and connect with students, faculty, and staff from other institutions. Would you like to be part of UMBC’s delegation to the 2025 American Democracy Project Summit in Indianapolis (July 13 – 14)? Contact us at civiclife@umbc.edu. Funding may be available to support your participation in the summit.

Please also let us know if you are interested in submitting a proposal to facilitate a session during the summit (45-minute topical sessions, five-minute “Ignite Talks,” or poster sessions) connected to the theme of “Full Participation.” Visit this page for more information.
