The conference will build upon the successes of our 1997 conference, "Building Sustainable Futures Together," where participants began to identify meaningful principles for community-campus partnerships to improve student education, civic responsibility and the overall health of communities. The aims of the second annual conference will be to discuss themes relevant to these principles of partnership, to identify "best practices" for putting these principles into action, and to help build and sustain a growing movement of health-promoting community-campus partnerships. Participants will examine community-campus partnerships for health professions education, health care delivery, research, community service, community-wide health improvement, and community/economic development. Some of the questions we will explore include: * What are the principles underlying successful partnerships between communities and higher education? How do they reflect, incorporate and balance community, student and college/university perspectives? * How can the strengths and assets of communities and of higher education be effectively mobilized to improve health and quality of life? * What can leaders in health professions education do to help promote and integrate the principles of partnership into community-based education, research and service? * What can community leaders do to engage health professional schools in their efforts to build healthier communities? * What are the best practices for developing, implementing and evaluating community-campus partnership efforts?
