The White Paper Forum convened in June 2015 to kick off a session on developing white papers. Participants were asked to select a prompt from a menu about how their educational programs incorporate active, applied pedagogy and community connections. They would then develop a response to collect data and use as the basis for a white paper submission. The purpose was both to gather information on how constructs are implemented in different programs and to create a white paper from each response.
