"Engaging Our World" Conference 2008

Hosted by West Virginia Wesleyan College and Oxfam America

October 24 - 26, 2008

West Virginia Wesleyan College is proud to host the 2008 "Engaging Our World" Conference!

This coming fall 2008 will mark the fourth annual "Engaging Our World" conference. Previously, the conference has been held at the University of Louisville, Berea College and Wofford College. The conference will be supported in various ways by Oxfam America, state and national organizations and student-led campus groups, and will be coordinated by students at West Virginia Wesleyan College in Buckhannon, WV.

Every year, the students who attend this conference strive to have a greater understanding of the issues facing our

world today and how to effectively work toward solving those issues. The conference offers information and opportunities for students to get involved in many issues of social justice awareness, and to bring this awareness and 'plans for action' back to their individual campuses. Wesleyan students attended the conference last year at Wofford College and it has inspired our school to take up the cause this year. Motivated students and faculty have stepped up to assist in the planning process and are passionate about making this conference a reality.
