Positioning Engagement: A Review of 40 Institutional Strategic Plans
Join Collaboratory staff at the 2023 Engagement Scholarship Consortium International Conference as they share recent findings from current research efforts.
Though institutions are, in larger numbers, crafting strategic plans that highlight a commitment to engagement, there is often confusion and uncertainty regarding best practices and innovative approaches to ensuring community engagement is a foundational aspect of a campus’ multi-year strategic plan. As campuses work toward infusing community engagement into their strategic plans there is a need for scholarship exploring how and in what ways institutions are positioning community engagement efforts within their larger institutional vision.
This presentation will share data gathered from an analysis of 40 institution-level strategic plans. It will provide insights into how campuses are:
1. defining and framing community engagement,
2. diffusing and integrating engagement within their overall plans, and
3. identifying metrics and KPIs to evaluate progress toward stated engagement goals
