Campus Compact Leadership Award for Campus and Community Engagement

Announcing the new Campus Compact Leadership Award for Campus and Community Engagement!

Campus Compact has created the Leadership Award for Campus and Community Engagement to highlight the critical and valuable role of the community engagement professional in higher education. These dedicated individuals form a vital link between the community and campus, they are central to realizing the vision of the engaged campus, and integral in the education and development of students. The tremendous growth of the field is due in large part to the dedication and hard work of the community engagement professional.

This award will honor an individual whose work embodies the vision and value of the engaged campus. The objective of this award is to recognize the work of a community engagement professional who advances her/his campus’s civic vision and the field by creating and/or coordinating high-quality campus and community engagement initiatives, contributing significantly to the development and sustainability of strong, reciprocal partnerships between higher education and communities, and fostering a deep culture of engagement on their campus.

Campus Compact is pleased to announce that the 2008 application process for this inaugural award will end October 17, 2008. Please see http://www.compact.org/awards/leadership/ for selection requirements.
