Bonner Program 8 Themes and Student Development OverviewBonner Foundation
These slides provide a general introduction of the new 8 Themes Curriculum, including the background on meetings, how they fit into the Bonner Developmental Model, and themes for each semester. This was part of the Bonner Fall Directors Meeting in 2018.

know how to use Logical Framework Approach (LFA) and key terms and definitions for proposals and reports,
understand key elements of project monitoring and evaluation (M&E) and its cycle within the project or program, and
learn about and use Active Implementation Frameworks (AIF).

In this session, we’ll delve into the ways that institutions have been engaging faculty, creating courses and pathways, and working to build sustained infrastructure for civic learning and community engagement.

This workshop is well-suited for folks who care deeply about institutionalizing community engagement and expanding access to high-impact practices. Come ready to learn about how the Stetson Bonner Program learned from a 2023 Institutional Research & Effectiveness study that the most successful retention and graduation program at Stetson is our Bonner Program – more than any academic program, co-curricular program, athletic program, Greek program, or other explicit retention initiatives. You’ll hear about how we leveraged this information to create more Bonner-like programs. You’ll leave with an understanding of how to analyze your campus' data on first-time-in-college (FTIC) student retention, and how that data can help you advocate for expanding community engagement initiatives as an effective driver of retention.
This session aims promote learning and exchange of ideas on
how we can help students all across campus pursue careers
with purpose and meaning, especially ones that make the world
a better place. The session will engage students in a dialogue
about career goals, academic study, service experience, career
support, and group discussions based on career interests.
This opening session sets the stage for a dynamic and informative
conference focused on driving positive social change. We'll be
inspired and rooted in a sense of place by President Floyd and our
student speakers then dive into two frameworks focused on
equipping individuals to be change agents in their communities.
Participants can expect to gain valuable insights, engage in
thought-provoking discussions and be inspired by the stories of
those who work towards moving the metaphorical mountains of
social inequality, injustice, and systemic challenges.
This is What Democracy Looks Like Powerbuilding -- Cali VanCleveBonner Foundation
Community organizing has always played a prominent role in the nonprofit world. But what about long-term, sustainable activism work? Power building is a newer sect of community organizing in which people can organize around a certain issue creating power within targeted communities. The Tennessee Immigrant and Refugee Rights Coalition (TIRRC) and its 501(c)(4) TIRRC Votes has created a movement across the state, and they build power within our immigrant and refugee communities through voter engagement and services such as legal aid, educational resources, etc. It is vital to recognize the diverse forms in which we can organize around election cycles beyond simply registering people to vote. If you're interested in either immigrant and refugee rights, voter engagement, or unconventional means of organizing, this would be the place for you!
Are you aspiring to build an exciting career on the global stage? Do you dream of working across borders, cultures, and continents?
