Kentucky Campus Compact staff led a civic reflection session at the Kentucky Conference on the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning. Sponsored by the state's Council on Postsecondary Education, the annual conference was held in Lexington on May 21-22. Gayle Hilleke, executive director of Kentucky Campus Compact, introduced the concept of civic reflection and the work of the Project on Civic Reflection. A colleague, VISTA coordinator Lee Ann Luxemberger, then facilitated a conversation on Bertolt Brecht's "A Bed for the Night".

The session was attended by about 15 faculty members, administrators and staff from colleges and universities across the state. It was received with interest, says Hilleke, with participants considering afterward how they might use civic reflection at their own institutions. An English professor thought that civic reflection would help to spur deeper reflection among her students. Another participant plans to introduce civic reflection to her department's faculty as "a way for them to come together and talk about civic engagement."
