Thanks for your interest in the Student Co-Design Team initiative at Campus Compact.

Thanks to the support of the Lumina Foundation, this fall Campus Compact is recruiting five member campuses to be selected as a Student Co-Designer Team to incubate new models of student voice and shared leadership models within campuses, community engagement centers, and local campus-community partnerships. Each campus team will be awarded $5,000 in seed money to spend over the next two years (by May 2027) to fund their initiative, with the goal of creating (or building upon) a model that can be replicated across the country to future Campus Compact member campuses.

Selected campuses will be provided a $5,000 in implementation funds that can be used to incubate a new civic student voice initiative on campus (ex. student-led leadership board for a campus center or students on a community partner board, etc.), expand or revamp a successful existing student-voice partnership (ex. student government and faculty senate committee on civic participation, etc.), and/or do a research initiative centering student voice that will lead to tangible outcomes for campus and/or the community.

The five selected campuses will be provided with Campus Compact staff support (Director, Student Engagement) and will be required to attend monthly meetings with the other Co-Designer Teams to share best practices, learn from each other’s challenges, and capture shared insights and themes to be shared with the rest of Campus Compact’s network.

All teams will be required to send two members to present at Compact27, and an additional $2,000 per team will be provided to support travel expenses.

Click here for more information about the program.

Directions: Please complete this application for the Student Co-Design Team by Friday, December 5th at 11:59 P.M. EST.

Campuses must be active Campus Compact members to apply. Teams must be composed of at least an equal number of students and non-students (staff, faculty, administrators, or partners), with a maximum of six members per team.

This application can be filled out by either students or staff/faculty as long as both are represented equally on the team and consent to being a part of the initiative.
