Welcome to The College of New Jersey! On behalf of The College of New Jersey 2022 Summer Leadership Institute Planning Team, welcome! We are thrilled and honored to host the rst in-person SLI since 2019. While the years since COVID-19 began have been challenging, our Bonner community has shown tremendous resilience and adaptability. We look forward to sharing, reconnecting, and building more Bonner Love with each of you this week. TCNJ Bonner is a special program. Founded with just a handful of ambitious students in 2004 under the leadership of the late Pat Donohue, the program has grown to be a landmark of the TCNJ and Trenton community. We now have 90 Bonner Scholars serving across 20+ community partner organizations, and we continue to grow each year. More important than our size is our impact and deep connections with our partners. To name a few, the Trenton Area Soup Kitchen, Rescue Mission of Trenton, PEI Kids, Academic Sports Academy, and El Centro have partnered with us since the very beginning. Now, many of our alumni are employed with these organizations or have taken these models and shared them with their new homes and communities to continue to enhance the places they live. Each year, Pat would ask our Bonner students, “What would you do if you knew you could not fail?” His vision laid the foundation for the program we are proud to share with you today, and our current leader Althia Muse continues to push us towards deeper impact and higher goals every day. We encourage each of you to ask yourself that same question. Whether you’ve been a part of the network for 30 years or 30 days, we come together each year to celebrate our accomplishments and set new, recharged goals for the road ahead.

About President Foster Dr. Kathryn A. (Kate) Foster became the 16th president of The College of New Jersey in 2018. Dr. Foster has placed particular emphasis on building a more inclusive and equitable community at TCNJ. The creation of a Division of Inclusive Excellence; adoption by both the campus and the Board of Trustees of an Inclusive Excellence Framework; formation of a Bias Education and Support Team; development of an Intercultural Center led by students; and implementation of an array of curricular, education, and advocacy programs are among the ongoing achievements. In 2021, TCNJ was selected to participate in the Association of American Colleges and Universities’ AAC&U’s Institute on Truth, Racial Healing and Transformation (TRHT) Campus Centers, which will further the college’s racial justice work and be a rst step in the creation of a TRHT center at the institution. Foster collaborates with fellow college and university presidents through the New Jersey Association of State Colleges, the New Jersey Presidents’ Council, New Jersey Campus Compact, and the New Jersey Athletic Conference. Foster is a member of the board for the New Jersey Chamber of Commerce. She also serves on the President’s Leadership Council for the national All In Campus Democracy Challenge, a nonpartisan effort to motivate college student voter participation and civic engagement. Community Engagement is paramount to the mission of TCNJ: “TCNJ believes in the transformative power of education to develop critical thinkers, responsible citizens, and lifelong learners and leaders. The College empowers its diverse students, staff, and faculty to sustain and enhance their communities both locally and globally.” At TCNJ, these are not just words on a page, but a sincere call to action. Through the First-Year Community Engaged Learning program, a comprehensive service learning course, every TCNJ student participates in service and civic learning during their rst year at The College. A native of New Jersey and a scholar-educator with more than 35 years of experience in public higher education, Foster came to TCNJ from the University of Maine at Farmington (UMF), where she served as president from 2012 to 2018. Prior to the presidency, she was a Visiting Fellow at the Brookings Institution, on research leave from the State University of New York at Buffalo, her academic home from 1993 to 2012. While at the University at Buffalo, she was Chair of the Department of Urban and Regional Planning and Director of the University at Buffalo Regional Institute, and she served as a Visiting Fellow at the Taubman Center for State and Local Government at Harvard University. Earlier in her career, Foster was a lecturer at Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo, and a Peace Corps Volunteer in Eswatini (formerly Swaziland).

Foster earned her BA in geography from The Johns Hopkins University, her MCP (city planning) from the University of California, Berkeley, and her PhD in public and international affairs from Princeton University. 5

The College of New Jersey (TCNJ) is a highly selective institution that is consistently recognized as one of the top comprehensive colleges in the nation. In 1855, the college was founded as The New Jersey State Normal School in the city of Trenton. While the institution moved locations in 1931 to the Ewing campus, Trenton was kept in the name until 1996 when it was renamed The College of New Jersey. TCNJ maintains the seventh highest four-year graduation rate among all public colleges and universities. It is ranked by Money as one of the top 15 public colleges “most likely to pay off nancially,” and U.S. News & World Report rates it the No. 1 public institution among regional universities in the northeast. Known for its natural beauty, the college is situated on 289 tree-lined acres in suburban Ewing Township, New Jersey, in close proximity to both New York City and Philadelphia. A strong liberal arts core forms the foundation for a wealth of degree programs offered through the college’s seven schools: Arts and Communication; Business; Education; Engineering; Humanities and Social Sciences; Nursing, Health, and Exercise Science; and Science. Five signature experiences are the hallmark of a TCNJ education. They include a personalized, collaborative, and rigorous education; undergraduate research, mentored internships, and eld experiences; community engaged learning; global engagement; and leadership development. TCNJ’s longstanding commitment to faculty-student collaboration was recognized in 2015 by the Council on Undergraduate Research, which named the college the recipient of its inaugural “Campus-wide Award for Undergraduate Research Accomplishment.” In 2006, TCNJ was awarded a Phi Beta Kappa chapter—an honor shared by less than 10 percent of colleges and universities nationally. TCNJ enrolls approximately 7,400 students including 6,790 undergraduates and 610 graduate students. Essential to its mission, TCNJ believes in the transformative power of education to develop critical thinkers, responsible citizens, and lifelong learners and leaders.

About TCNJ

About TCNJ’s Bonner Center for Community Engagement Grounded in TCNJ’s mission to “empower its diverse students, staff, and faculty to sustain and enhance their communities,” as well as TCNJ’s commitment to the public purpose of higher education, TCNJ’s Center for Community Engagement develops lifelong learners who are prepared to lead lives that are critically informed through community and civic engagement. In 2004, the Bonner Center for Civic and Community Engagement was established to house the Bonner Community Scholars program. In 2006, the Bonner Center took on the coordination of TCNJ’s First-year Community Engaged Learning requirement (FYCEL) and began integrating the Bonner Community Scholars program with FYCEL management. During this time, the Bonner Community Scholars Program was reoriented towards cultivating and supporting a diverse student body through recruitment. Moreover, the program has since been organized into student-led teams addressing speci c community needs in collaboration with community partners. Center staff now organize and lead FYCEL activities, and work closely with First Year Seminar faculty to incorporate FYCEL components into their curriculum. Since 2010, CCE staff have also supported Advanced CEL (ACEL) course components as well as a wide array of community engaged research and initiatives. Now, our center houses two institutes: The Bonner Institute for Civic and Community Engagement, and the Community Engaged Learning Institute. Led by Althia Muse, Bonner Director, and Brittany Aydelotte, CEL Director, the center continues to build upon our 18+ years of collaboration with the city of Trenton, the wider Mercer County area, and our national and global partners. The Bonner Institute at TCNJ has 90-100 Bonner Scholars annually, over 20 community partners, four full-time staff members, and one full-time AmeriCorps member. To learn more about the Center for Community Engagement, please visit our website here: https:// cce.tcnj.edu/

About Ewing & Trenton The College of New Jersey is located in Ewing, about one mile north of the capital city of Trenton. CCE considers Trenton, Ewing, and the wider Mercer County area our home and has a long-standing history with the city of Trenton. Trenton became New Jersey's capital as of November 25, 1790, and the City of Trenton was formed within Trenton Township on November 13, 1792. The rst settlement which would become Trenton was established by Quakers in 1679. By 1719, the town adopted the name Trent-towne, after William Trent, one of its leading landholders who purchased much of the surrounding land from Stacy's family. This name later was shortened to Trenton. During the American Revolutionary War, the city was the site of George Washington's rst military victory. After the war, Trenton was brie y the national capital of the United States in November and December of 1784. Currently, Trenton has a population of over 83,000, and is approximately eight square miles. As a former industrial center, Trenton became famous for its steel and ceramic manufacturing. The phrase “Trenton Makes, The World Takes” can be found on the bridge connecting Morrisville, PA to Trenton over the Delaware River. This phrase harkens to this industrial history, such as steel from Trenton being used in the cables on both the Brooklyn Bridge and the Golden Gate Bridge. Trenton is currently home to a large diversity of different cultures. According to the 2020 census, the three largest populations racially and ethnically in Trenton are Hispanic of any race (45%), Black and African American (42%), and White (9%). This diversity has opened the city to be a destination for cultural events and an attraction for foodies discovering the restaurant scene— from a wide variety of downtown eateries to the new Chambersburg which features the culinary arts of many Latin American countries. Trenton’s art scene is exploding. From Art All Night, ArtWorks’ 24-hour community art show, to Jersey Fresh Graf ti jam to Passage Theatre’s awardwinning productions to the Trenton Film Festival. The city is a canvas for those looking for creativity and inspiration. Trenton natives take pride in other products of their city, such as the stunning artwork and music created by local artists, and the resilience of its neighborhoods throughout deindustrialization.

About The Theme

The theme of the 2022 Bonner Summer Leadership Institute is “The Comeback”. The theme celebrates the resiliency and strength of the Bonner community and return of in-person national Bonner gatherings. It also re ects the resilience of individuals across the network, especially during the past few years of the pandemic, economic challenges, racial injustice, and other adversity. As the rst in-person gathering since COVID-19, we seek to honor and uphold the Bonner Common Commitments and Beloved Community. Additionally, we hope to highlight the work of TCNJ, Bonner Programs, alumni, and campuses around the country in partnership with local communities. The 2022 Bonner Summer Leadership Institute conference will be lled with exciting and invigorating sessions, including inspiring all-group sessions, skills and knowledge-based elective workshops, immersion experiences to explore the local community, a networking fair with national nonpro t organizations and graduate schools offering scholarships and special bene ts for Bonner students and alumni, networking opportunities over meals and breaks, and social and community building activities for students and administrators. Throughout the next four days, we hope you come back to your passions, priorities, communities, and Bonner Love.

* = Bonner Scholar Program

The Bonner Foundation is an independent, private nonpro t organization that works in partnership with colleges, universities, and nonpro ts across the country. Founded in 1990, the Bonner Foundation launched its Bonner Scholar Program that year with Berea College in Kentucky. Many of the institutions that started the Bonner Program that decade were located in the Appalachian region, in part to carry on the legacy of Corella and Bertram Bonner. With the support of national funding from the Corporation for National Service and its AmeriCorps initiative, the Bonner Foundation launched the Bonner Leader Program. To date, Bonner Programs have graduated more than 18,000 alumni across our national network. Each year, these programs, offered by more than 75 colleges and universities engage more than 3,000 undergraduates in a four-year developmental experience of service and learning. With student leadership at the center, the Bonner Program serves as a vehicle for student development, community engagement and impact, and institutional change. In addition to the Bonner Program, the Foundation offers funding to nonpro t programs primarily in New Jersey who are working to alleviate hunger and poverty. As such, the mission reads: Through sustained partnerships with colleges and congregations, the Corella and Bertram F. Bonner Foundation seeks to improve the lives of individuals and communities by helping meet the basic needs of nutrition and educational opportunity. Our Common Commitments express the values we explore and share as an organization, national network, and community •

Civic Engagement: exploring and participating intentionally in multiple forms and dimensions of engagement including service, political engagement, social action, and public policy;

•

Community Building: creating and sustaining a vibrant community of place, personal relationships, and shared interests

•

Diversity: respecting the many different dimensions of personal and group identities (such as ability, age, class, ethnicity, faith, gender, leadership, race, religion, political views) and creating opportunities for dialogue, learning, and work on equality and equity

•

International Perspective: supporting international and global understanding to participate successfully in an increasingly interconnected world across national boundaries

•

Social Justice: understand and advocate for fairness, impartiality, and equity to address and nd solutions for systemic disparities

•

Spiritual Exploration: re ect on and explore personal beliefs while respecting the spiritual and ethical practices and values of others

•

Wellness: nurturing the development, resilience, thriving and sustenance of the whole person and of communities through self and community care

We encourage people to learn more about the inspiring work that is happening across the network not only within the Bonner Program but also in these critical current initiatives: •

The Racial Justice Community Fund: teams of campus and community leaders working to address disparities and promote greater anti-racism and equity.

•

The Community-Engaged Learning Initiative and Pathways Project: funding and support for engaging faculty, students, and administrators across the institution.

Teams from any institution can put together projects and apply for funds from their own endowed programs or the Foundation.

TARGETED FOR STUDENT LEADERS As Bonner students, we have all made the commitment to be civically engaged and change makers on our campuses and in our communities. Simultaneously, the COVID pandemic has shaken us as individuals, programs, and communities. As leaders of the Bonner Program, how do we help our programs get back on track? How do we hold our fellow Bonners accountable to meet program expectations and follow through on our commitments? Choose from one of the following three sessions on the various dimensions of accountability. Led by the 2022 Bonner Foundation Summer Interns, in each session you will explore, discuss, and gain tools to bring back to your Bonner Program. Have Your Bonners’ Back: Managing Con ict Resolution Join us in an open room discussion on what accountability through con ict resolution looks like and how it applies to your program. We will unravel how to address con icts by working through a series of eight simple steps. Come ready to be challenged with brain teasers and case studies, and get the chance to put on a broadway performance with other Bonners. Let’s work together to gure out how to make life easier to navigate! Location: Brower Student Center 225 East Facilitated by: Dominique Dore ’22 and Mikaela Chin ’24, Bonner Foundation National Summer Interns Have Your Bonners’ Back: Accountability and Recruitment Come and join us in this interactive session to share what accountability looks like in your program. You’ll also have the opportunity to brainstorm and share ideas on how to improve your Bonner Program recruitment process. We will focus on key effective strategies such as building and maintaining partnerships, increasing program visibility on campus, and aligning program recruitment goals with your institution’s strategic plan. Location: Brower Student Center 224 Facilitated by: Selah Ndouta '22, Bonner Foundation National Summer Intern

Have Your Bonners’ Back: Planning Effective Meetings In this session, participants will learn how to plan effective meetings through the simulation of planning a Bonner Retreat.

TARGETED FOR ADMINISTRATORS & FACULTY Administrators and faculty, please join us in Brower Student Center 100 for a much-awaited Bonner Business session. Foundation staff will provide updates on upcoming meetings, current initiatives, and opportunities. We’ll cover basics like reporting and innovations like the CommunityEngaged Learning and Racial Justice Community Fund. As our rst in-person meeting since 2019, we are eager to reconnect and welcome new friends too! Visit the Website or Wiki for more info.

IMPORTANT INITIATIVES & DATES Community-Engaged Learning Initiative Grants: Make sure to review the RFP in order to apply for funds. Please remember to send the completed worksheet to your campus liaison. While the initial date was May 15, extensions will be granted through June 30, 2022. Decisions will be made on a rolling basis, starting with a review of submitted proposals next week. Racial Justice Community Fund Grants: The Initiative will continue in 2022-23. Endowed programs may leverage their community funds for similar purposes and projects. We will share a revised RFP with the network in July for submission by November 15, 2022. 2022 New Directors and Coordinators Orientation on July 31-August 3 in Princeton, NJ: with many programs welcoming new staff this year and summer, we look forward to convening for this important four day introduction to the Bonner Program at Princeton Seminary. Participants will need to book lodging at the Doubletree Hotel in Princeton (which is holding rooms until July 10). 2022 Pathways Project Summit on September 27-30 at Montclair State University and MSU Conference Center in NJ: We anticipate planning a gathering for teams involved in the Bonner Pathways Project this fall, offering relevant workshops with national speakers. We are working in partnership with Montclair State University and its conference center to host this event. Lodging will be available via several nearby hotels. 2022 Fall Bonner Congress at the Flaget Center on October 14-16 in Louisville, KY: Considering possible concerns related to the pandemic, we are working to host the Fall Congress for student leaders at a conference center.

Growing Connections: Learning With & From the Richness of Urban Schools

Imagine the Future of Higher Education with Bringing Theory to Practice’s Paradigm Project

There is no shortage of urban education literature that posits the theoretical potential of providing teacher candidates with early placement experiences in academically challenging, pedagogically engaging, and emotionally supportive educational settings. However, colleges engaged in preparing urban teacher candidates are often hard-pressed to find ways to make such connections that are mutually engaging and valuable for k-12 level urban students and first and second year undergraduates. We will share an overview of one college-urban school collaboration, and the lessons learned from this endeavor. Presented by Dr. Brenda H. Leake, Associate Professor, The College of New Jersey; Danielle Miller-Winrow, Director, the SPROUT University School of the Arts; and Maria C. Brando, M.Ed. Candidate in Urban Ed at The College of New Jersey, Education Building, Room 115

What should be the values and purposes of higher education? What creates more holistic educational experiences for undergraduate students? What needs to change to make this happen? Bringing Theory to Practice, a national initiative to advance engaged, holistic, and equitable undergraduate education, has just launched the Paradigm Project to catalyze change in higher education in three ways: by expanding the public conversation about the purposes of undergraduate education, by strengthening a movement for change among higher education networks and institutional leaders, and by supporting innovative educational practices. Join this interactive session to learn about the project, share innovative examples of engaged learning, and discuss ways to stay connected and be involved with the project as it develops. Presented by Paul Schadewald, Senior Project Manager, Paradigm Project, Bringing Theory to Practice Education Building, Room 113

Workshop Block 1 (continued) Friday, June 17 AT 11:00 AM TO 12:30 PM Mindfulness in Leadership

Students as Colleagues: Creating a Culture of Action

This workshop is an invitation to reflect on leadership and social change from a place of pause. The power of taking pause is well researched. It helps to regain balance, increases one’s resilience as leaders, and one’s ability to deal with more complex issues. We will discuss the importance of wellness in building healthy collaborative spaces as well as the role of mindfulness in communication and leadership. Attendees will further discuss their values and draft a personal, values-driven leadership philosophy. Presented by Diamond Slone Couch, Assistant Director of Community Engagement and Director of Bonner Leaders Initiatives Education Building, Room 211

This workshop will provide the rationale for the “Students as Colleagues” framework, three significant activities designed for faculty professional development, and resources that will build institutional support. Since March 2020, many institutions have been providing adequate though not optimal learning, navigating the challenges posed by the pandemic. This consequence has delayed emotional and social development among faculty and college students and fractured experiential learning. Leveraging a “students as colleagues” approach will help to build confidence, practice essential skills and develop agency among faculty and students that requires significant scaffolding. Presented by Erin O’Hanlon, Coordinator of ServiceLearning, Stockton University and Daniel Fidalgo Tome, Engaged Civic Learning Program Coordinator, Rutgers University - Camden Education Building, Room 205

Salary Negotiation and Ge ing the Promotion In this workshop, we will help participants build their self-advocacy toolkit and unpack the importance of salary negotiation in the broader picture of wage inequity. We will introduce how to evaluate offers and look at pay holistically and offer several strategies, phrases, and best practices for effective negotiation that will be applicable to people with many different career interests. We will also introduce The Philadelphia Center's program for students who may be interested in an urban internship during their "study away" semester. Presented by Jean Gaffney, Recruiter, The Philadelphia Center and Katie Turek, Career and Placement Director, The Philadelphia Center Education Building, Room 306

The Contemplative Activist: Social Change and Self-Care The work of enacting social change calls us to acknowledge and examine the suffering in our communities, which can be challenging and exhausting. How can we avoid burn-out and numbing out? How might we learn to accept our inevitable failures, listen deeply, grow from them, and tap into our own inner strength? This interactive and engaging session will explore these questions through the lens of contemplative practice, with an invitation to experience a few brief practices. Presented by Lindsey Carelli, Interim Director of Interfaith Initiatives Education Building, Room 208

The Five Love Languages: Bonner Edition

Workshop Block 2 continued Friday, June 17 AT 4:00 PM TO 5:30 PM Inspire, Engage and Ignite!: Harnessing the Power of Community Engagement in a Post-COVID World

Mindfulness as a Tool for Social Change in Faculty & Student Development

The emerging world and communities we live in have vastly changed since the start of the global pandemic in March of 2020: Lives transformed, people and communities reshaped. This has prompted many in community development to reconsider how service-learning functions. At Albion College, with the support of visionary foundations like the Arthur Vining Davis Foundations, we have forged a re-envisioned approach to community engaged learning in which students, community organizations, and faculty/ staff work together as co-creators and co-disseminators of knowledge. Come learn how you can harness the power of the college-to-community service pipeline which improves outcomes of all involved. Presented by Kyndall Lewis, BAFBonner Scholars/AC3, Malena Solis, BAF-Bonner Scholars/AC3 at Albion College Education Building, Room 207

Mindfulness as a historic practice is deeply rooted in Buddhist liberation psychology, and contemporarily has been used to gain deeper levels of awareness of one's thought process, emotional state, and somatic reaction to external stimuli. More recently, mindfulness has been gaining additional attention as a tool to promote DEI initiatives and as a means of preventing burnout among students and professionals doing anti-oppressive work in higher education. Mindfulness has also been actively incorporated into faculty and student development in faculty development workshops, classroom education, and student development workshops. This session will introduce the outcomes of this integration in the context of addressing DEI-related issues. Presented by Anthony Dissen, Tenured Instructor of Health Science, Stockton University; Daniel Fidalgo Tomé, Engaged Community Learning Program Coordinator, Rutgers University - Camden Education Building, Room 205

Leading with the Enneagram The enneagram is a self-awareness tool which helps identify unconscious cognitive, emotional, and behavior strategies which underlie everything we do. The goal is not to put us in a box, but to understand the box we are already in and how we start to break free. This interactive and engaging session will introduce the enneagram and give participants a chance to begin the journey of understanding their own type and identifying their own patterns of behavior. We will also discuss how we support one another while still retaining our own authenticity. This workshop is appropriate for all participants and requires no prior knowledge of the enneagram. Presented by Adia Zeman Theis, Associate Director, Experience and Professional Development (XPD) Education Building, Room 115

Moving Toward Equity in Education

This session will focus on the role Bonner scholars, educators, and community members can take to work toward creating and sustaining more equitable schools across diverse communities. It will explore how systemic inequalities are currently impacting education and what individuals and groups can do to begin the process of dismantling those systems to move in a more equitable direction.

Presented by Jonathan Ryan Davis, Associate Professor, Urban Secondary Education Coordinator, TCNJ Education Building, Room 206

NOTES ON HOUSING TCNJ room keys are obtained by guests during registration and are returned to the college at check-out. If an additional key is required after registration, proper identi cation must be shown to the of ce staff and a staff member of the program must sign for the additional key. The Program Directors will not have access to keys other than the keys given to them during check-in unless special arrangements are made with the Of ce of Conference & Event Services. For the safety of residents and of resident's belongings, locking of individual room doors is important. Doors should be locked when residents are sleeping. It is the responsibility of the residents to carry a room key at all times and not to lend keys to others without the speci c consent of all those who live in the room. If a participant is locked out of his/her room, he/she should contact Destiny De La Rosa or Katie Kahn (646-389-5395) who will contact Guest Services to request that the door be opened The participant's camp/conference of ce must validate the identity of the individual who is locked out. When the Guest Services of ce is closed (between 11pm and 7am), participants should call x5507 in order to contact the on call staff member.

People who either lose keys or have them stolen will be issued a spare key and will be charged $50.00 for the lock change. In addition, a borrowed key may not be held out for more than 48 hours, or a lock change will be administratively activated at the resident's expense. Lost or stolen keys should be reported to the Guest Services staff immediately. A lock change will be requested and will usually be completed in two days. When the lock change is completed, new keys will be available to the resident NOTE: Keys not returned at the end of the conference/camp are considered lost. Keys returned after a checkout are not acceptable since lock changes occur almost immediately following a check-out due to the high volume of turnover on campus.
