Conference on Undergraduate Regional Engagement (CURE)

CURE is the Conference on Undergraduate Regional Engagement, and designed for Brinson Honors Students to engage with the regional community partners and understand the challenges they face. This year, the conference will host an opening plenary panel, a series of concurrent sessions centered on issues and skills, and a call to action to serve and give back.

CURE provides Brinson Honors Students an intimate and personalized platform to connect with service-learning opportunities. Our CURE Opening Plenary and Keynote Address will kick-off the event on September 14, igniting passion in students to level-up their service experiences and think outside of the box on on what it means to be engaged with your community.  Concurrent Sessions will follow the opening plenary, allowing students to hear from community partner organizations and learn about the most significant issues we face in Western North Carolina. Campus Partners will also join CURE and provide students a chance to learn how to integrate service-learning into their broader collegiate experience.

CURE is a unique academic conference and opportunity to engage fully in the Community Engagement Touchstone of the Brinson Honors Path. Get Excited!
