Abstract | This report provides the findings of a study undertaken by University of Massachusetts Lowell’s Community University Advisory Board that compares the degree of community-university engagement at UMass Lowell to five other ‘peer institutions’. The author draws on a review of the literature and on the Campus Compact Indicators of Engagement Project to develop a list of categories and indicators for the study. The four categories considered were—administration, communication, service learning and outreach, and ‘community voice’. Indicators were assigned a numerical value and points awarded based on the extent to which each institution met the indicator. |
