Campus Compact (http://www.compact.org) is a national coalition of more than 1000 college and university presidents committed to the civic purposes of higher education. To support this civic mission, Campus Compact promotes community service that develops students' citizenship skills and values, encourages partnerships between campuses and communities, and assists faculty who seek to integrate public and community engagement into their teaching and research. Our presidents believe that by creating a supportive campus environment for the engagement in community service, colleges and universities can best prepare their students to be active, committed, and informed citizens and leaders of their communities. Member campuses bond together as a coalition to actively engage presidents, faculty, staff, and students to promote a renewed vision for higher education – one that supports not only the civic development of students, but the campus as an active and engaged member of its community. |
