OUR INTENDED
ROLL OUT

Within each of the five steering groups, the target for ’22 - ‘23 will develop and roll out a Member Engagement Plan, targeting valid indicators of the engaged campus, such as those put forward in 2002 by Hollander, Saltmarsh, & Zlothowski, and are still valid to this day, as follows.

  • A Mission and leadership style that builds a culture of engagement, including through speeches and resource allocation
     

  • Clear campus-community reciprocity and avenues of open access for community partners to campus resources, hiring, and purchasing
     

  • Clear methods for incorporating community-engaged teaching into the university experience
     

  • Articulated definitions and criteria for regarding community-engaged teaching and scholarship, and ongoing methods for developing faculty in community engagement

We will strive to:

  • Gain full presidential commitment to an agreed charter and course of action

  • Award annual seed grants to member campus teams based on indicators of the engaged campus

  • Design annual awards that bring recognition to civic leaders’ efforts and impacts with respect to the engaged campus

  • Provide ongoing and targeted professional development based on expressed campus need

  • Convene faculty annually through statewide symposia to demonstrate teaching, research, and impact on the social good

SUCCESS WILL BE MEASURED BY

  • The number of campuses, faculty, staff, students, community partners, and presidents active with measurable elements of the Member Engagement Plan

  • In order to target a level of the pervasiveness of this work across the state, we will benchmark success relative to the number of campuses engaged being greater than 30
