The Washington Center for Internships and Academic Seminars, an independent nonprofit educational organization, invites nominations for the 2017 Higher Education Civic Engagement Award. The award will celebrate the power of partnerships by recognizing institutions demonstrating transformational civic leadership through strategic community partnerships.

In reviewing nominations, The Washington Center and the selection committee will consider the extent to which institutions are building strategic community partnerships that demonstrate the following:

1. Leadership and innovation in defining and addressing issues of public concern at any level from the local to the global;

2. Evidence of change that is systemic and sustainable;

3. Depth and breadth of institutional commitment.

The Washington Center has presented the Higher Education Civic Engagement Awards each year since 2009. Past awardees have reflected diverse institutional profiles.
