Campus Compact invites members to join in a series of “coalition conversations” for collective thinking and action focused on common themes in our work. These conversations are part of our coalition-building work, driven by members committed to collaboratively advancing community and civic engagement work in higher education.  How do units responsible for overseeing community engagement initiatives sustain momentum through executive leadership transitions and other changes on campus? In the absence of a strong impetus for institution-wide organizing and coordination (e.g., external grant funding, preparing Carnegie applications, or developing quality enhancement plans for reaccreditation), what strategies and pathways might sustain or even enhance the institutionalization of engagement?  How do we organize and collectively build a broader infrastructure that enhances buy-in, support, and shared leadership for engagement activities across campus and community?

Campus Compact’s National Webinar series returns for 2021-2022 with more to support and inspire you. Topics touch on issues of relevance to faculty, staff, students, and their partners in education and community building. Be sure to tune to each session for information, tools, and resources to help you in your work.

These conversations are part of our coalition-building work, driven by members committed to collaboratively advancing community and civic engagement work in higher education.  The field of community-engaged scholarship continues to evolve as we better understand the nuances of our work. Faculty development needs to follow a similar trajectory. In 2010, Doberneck, Glass and Schweitzer found that faculty divide their community-engaged work into four categories: research, teaching and learning, creative activities, and service. Faculty development efforts must address the type of community-engaged scholarship, institutional context, and the transformative nature of this work. What models are you using to create quality faculty development initiatives?
