2007 Bonner Congress Fall Meeting

Lynchburg College •Lynchburg, VA

October 19-21, 2007

The Fall 2007 Bonner Student Congress Meeting will be held Friday, October 19 through Sunday October, 21 at Lynchburg College, located in Lynchburg, VA. Lynchburg is located 115 miles west of Richmond, VA (via 360/460). It is about 182 miles from Washington, DC and 114 miles north of Greensboro, NC. Airports that are recommended are Lynchburg Airport and Roanoke Airport (approximately 50 miles), and Lynchburg staff and students will arrange shuttles only to those two airports for students.

Planning is underway at this time. We will be identifying student representatives to present workshops, help facilitate planning, and more. Please complete the survey for Congress Reps.

For other logistical information, visit the Logistics sidebar.

Key Themes:

  • Student Voice and Leadership (key roles of Congress).
  • Diversity and Biodiversity (building off of SLI 2007 at Oberlin).
  • Political Engagement (building towards SLI 2008 at Allegheny College).
  • Public Policy and Community-Based Research (possibly with a special Friday meeting for faculty and students interested in participating in the PolicyOptions.org project).

Programming may include:

  • Community building and networking opportunities.
  • Immersion experiences (like service) in the Lynchburg area.
  • Student-led workshops (volunteer to do one when doing the survey).
  • Planning and Action Teams to strategize about work for 2007-2008.
