22 Colleges & Universities selected for the Campus Action Planning for Civic & Community Engagement Innovation Cohort pilot program

Teams from campuses across the U.S. will pilot our new Campus Action Planning framework

Campus Compact is pleased to announce the 22 colleges and universities across the U.S. that will participate in the inaugural Innovation Cohort as part of Campus Compact’s Campus Action Planning for Civic & Community Engagement (CAP) program. CAP is a national initiative and comprehensive framework designed to empower colleges to advance civic and community engagement as an institutional priority. As members of the pilot Innovation Cohort, these 22 institutions representing a wide range of institutions from across the country will be among the first to develop Campus Action plans using our new Campus Action Planning Framework.

Each institution selected to participate in the Innovation Cohort will form a planning and implementation team of six to ten campus and community members. Teams will take part in a structured seven-month arc of support designed to guide the development and initial implementation of a Campus Action Plan. This offering is an exciting pilot program that will provide critical input to Campus Compact’s CAP initiative as it continues to grow and develop, resulting in a more robust CAP program for campuses that wish to participate in the future
