Steering Committee on Community Engagement
Background
On May 6 then Interim President George Philip and then Interim Provost Susan Phillips created the Steering Committee on Community Engagement. This step was the outgrowth of the Roundtable on Outreach and Community Engagement convened by them on March 19, 2008. The Roundtable was a successful first-ever conversation across university units about how UAlbany works with its communities and opportunities to better leverage efforts.
Purpose
The charge of the Committee was to propose an action plan to make community engagement a widely recognized hallmark of the University, with a major goal to strategically advance and leverage our accomplishments and distinctive strengths in community engagement for greater impact at home and abroad. The Committee was asked to recommend a range of such strategies including those that would potentially position the University for a successful 2010/11 application for the Carnegie Foundation’s elective classification in community engagement.
