This October 2008 marked the fourth annual "Engaging Our World" conference. Previously, the conference was held at the University of Louisville, Berea College and Wofford College. The conference was supported in various ways by Oxfam America, state and national organizations and student-led campus groups, and was coordinated by student leaders 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.
