The New Community-Engagement Playbook

Colleges are under growing pressure to demonstrate their value to the public. One of the most effective places to start is in your own community.

Strong community-education programs can do more than expand access to learning. They can strengthen colleges’ enrollment pipelines, diversify their revenue streams, and deepen community trust. But building successful programs requires time, money, and a willingness to be patient before you see results.

Educating in Your Community examines how colleges are creating successful place-based partnerships that benefit both their institutions and the communities they serve. Through case studies and practical strategies, this Chronicle report shows how colleges are rethinking community engagement to create lasting impact.
