Strategic Plan: 2001-2005

GOAL I:  Create a supportive environment for the civic engagement of higher education among government, foundation, higher education and

                 corporate leaders, increase the national and state visibility and influence of campus compact and its mission.

                 By 2005, Campus Compact will regularly deepen public understanding of the value and impact of higher education’s civic mission and will    

                 influence public policy at the national and state levels to support that mission. The Compact will also be the key source of information on

                 the engaged campus (e.g. service-learning, campus/community partnerships, civic responsibility).

GOAL II: Deepen higher education’s understanding of why and how to be an engaged campus (strengthening presidents’ commitment to the

                 civic responsibility of higher education).

     By year 2005 Campus Compact will have developed answers to the questions: What is an Engaged Campus? Why is it Important to be

     an Engaged Campus? What measurable results are produced by an Engaged Campus? The Compact will have documented exemplars

     of each type of member institution.

GOAL III: Increase the extent and quality of service, service learning and civic engagement on our member campuses by providing services to

                  multiple campus constituencies.

                By the year 2005, Compact member campuses will have increased understanding and use of practices of civic engagement. This will be

                measured by the percentage of campuses that are located on the intermediate and advanced levels of the service learning and civic

                engagement pyramid.

GOAL IV: Strengthen civic engagement by creating capacity building relationships between communities and higher education.

               By the year 2005, Campus Compact and its members will increase the capacity of communities and of higher education to work effectively

               together to improve communities.

GOAL V: Build and strengthen campus compact’s national and state organizational capacity to be a powerful leader for civic education.

               By 2005, Campus Compact will have implemented consistent standards of operation at both state and national levels to advocate for civic

               education and will have articulated the philosophic, programmatic and structural roles of network and national organizations in the “one

              organization.”
