Campuses can apply for new
Carnegie elective
classification for Community
Engagement
April
30 deadline for letters of intent
As of February 28th, 2006 higher educational institutions that are engaged
with community can apply to the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of
Teaching for a new elective classification for Community Engagement. Elective classifications rely on
voluntary application and documentation by institutions. They provide
another way for institutions to describe their identity and commitments
with a public and nationally recognized classification.
Definition
Community Engagement describes the collaboration between institutions of
higher education and their larger communities (local, regional/state,
national, global) for the mutually beneficial exchange of knowledge and
resources in a context of partnership and reciprocity.
Application Process
The application process consists of two steps: first, a letter of intent;
and second, responses to a comprehensive documentation framework. The first
step requires a brief letter from the institution's president or chief
executive indicating a commitment to participate in the documentation
process in 2006. Letters should be sent to:
Amy Driscoll
Associate Senior Scholar
The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching
51 Vista Lane
Stanford, CA 94305
Once participation has been approved, the second step involves
documentation using a framework of questions probing both indicators and
categories of community engagement. Those questions will initiate an
internal process of documentation for the institution and will involve
self-assessment, data gathering, and reporting.
Documentation Process
The first stage of the documentation process requires the institution to
describe a set of entry or foundational indicators, Institutional Identity
and Culture and Institutional Commitment. Each indicator must be
demonstrated by both required and optional documentation examples and
descriptions. For example, one requirement of Institutional Identity and
Culture for Community Engagement is that the institution indicates that
community engagement is a priority in its mission. When institutions meet
the documentation requirements of the Foundational Indicators, the first
stage is complete. The institution may proceed to the second stage.
Institutions that are unable to meet the requirements of the first stage
are not encouraged to proceed to the second stage.
The second stage of the documentation process is the provision of data,
examples, and descriptions of focused engagement activities in the
categories of Curricular Engagement and Outreach and Partnerships.
Curricular Engagement describes teaching, learning, and scholarship which
engage faculty, students, and community in mutually beneficial and
respectful collaboration. Their interactions address community identified
needs, deepen students civic and academic learning, enhance the well-being
of the community, and enrich the scholarship of the institution.
Outreach and Partnerships describe two different but related approaches to
community engagement. The first focuses on the application and provision of
institutional resources for community use benefiting both campus and
community. The latter focuses on collaborative interactions with community
and related scholarship for the mutually beneficial exchange, exploration,
discovery, and application of knowledge, information, and resources
(research, economic development, capacity building, etc.).
Institutions will select the appropriate category with which to describe
the campus engagement with community, or will decide to demonstrate both
categories, as comprehensive community engagement. The deadline for this
second stage of documentation is September 1, 2006. The documentation
process is extensive and substantive, focused on significant qualities,
activities, and institutional provisions that ensure an institutionalized
approach to community engagement.
Review Process
Participation in the documentation process for the community engagement
classification is limited in 2006 in order to assure thorough reviews, and
to provide opportunity to revise the framework as part of the
implementation process. CCPH executive
director Sarena Seifer is a
member of the National Advisory Panel that will be supporting the review
process for the first year.
The new elective classification for institutions engaged with community is
an exciting move in Carnegie's work to extend and refine the classification
of colleges and universities. The classification represents a significant
affirmation of the importance of community engagement in the agenda of
higher education.
Questions?
Questions about the community engagement classification can be sent to Amy
Driscoll at driscoll@carnegiefoundation.org.

Designing Healthy Communities: Raising Healthy
Kids
National Public Health Week, April 3-9, 2006
In 1995,
former President William Jefferson Clinton proclaimed the first full week
of April as National Public Health Week (NPHW). Each year, the American Public Health Association (APHA)
serves as the organizer of NPHW and develops a national campaign to
educate the public, policymakers and practitioners during the week about
issues related to the theme. The
2006 observance of NPHW will be from April 3rd - 9th
and will be dedicated to “Designing Healthy Communities: Raising Healthy
Kids.”
|
|
During NPHW, APHA, in partnership with many
different national, state and local organizations (including
CCPH!) aims to improve the understanding of the relationship
between built environments - homes, schools, parks and community
design - and the health and safety of children by promoting solutions
that families, communities and policy-makers can use to improve
children's health in their communities. Each day will focus on the
relationship between the built environment and a core children's health
issue, with additional focus on effective solutions based on case studies
from model communities:
Monday: Designing Healthy Communities: Raising Healthy Kids
Tuesday: Surrounding Our Kids with Equal Opportunities
Wednesday: Surrounding Our Kids with Physical Activity
Thursday: Surrounding Our Kids with Safety
Friday: Surrounding Our Kids with Clean Air

MESSAGE FROM OUR EXECUTIVE
DIRECTOR
|
|
Sarena Seifer
|
What perspectives do funding agencies bring to the
whole arena of community-campus partnerships? When considering
proposals for community-campus partnerships, what do they look for as
evidence of an authentic partnership, of a promising program? In what
ways are funding agencies themselves partners in these partnerships?
A plenary panel taking place on Saturday morning June 3 during the CCPH conference in Minneapolis aims to find
out! We are excited to announce a diverse line-up of panelists from
the public and private sectors:
|
|
Joan
Cleary, Associate Director of the Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Minnesota
Foundation in St. Paul, MN, www.bluecrossmn.com
Sarah Flicker, Chief Research Scientist of the Wellesley Central Health
Corporation in Toronto, ON Canada, www.wellesleycentral.com
Juli Kaufmann, Director of the Healthier Wisconsin Partnership Program in
Milwaukee, WI, www.mcw.edu/healthierwisconsin
Francisco Sy, Chief of the Office of Community-Based Participatory Research
& Outreach in the National Center on Minority Health & Health
Disparities at the National Institutes of Health, http://ncmhd.nih.gov/
Terri D. Wright, Program Director at the WK Kellogg Foundation in Battle
Creek, MI, www.wkkf.org
Among the questions the panelists will be address are:
When you use or hear the term "authentic community-campus partnership"
what does it mean to you?
·
What
do you believe are the factors and characteristics that make for successful
community-campus partnerships?
·
What
are some of the pitfalls you've observed and what guidance do you have for
avoiding or overcomimg them?
·
What
are your funding priorities, especially as they pertain to community-campus
partnerships?
The
panel is just one way the CCPH conference links members to timely and
"mission-critical" resources! Check out the dozens of
pre-conference institutes, skill-building workshops, story sessions,
thematic posters and poster boards that will be taking place over the
period of May 31 - June 3 (not to mention community site visits, which
we'll be announcing shortly):
