CALL FOR PROPOSALS! Proposals Due: October 7, 2005
Description: With the remarkable expansion of interest and investment in community-campus partnerships, we believe the time is right to take a critical look at these partnerships in all of their iterations and ask (and answer) key questions about where we are now, where we are going and where we need to be. How do we fully realize authentic partnerships between communities and higher educational institutions? How do we balance power and share resources among partners? What are the barriers and challenges getting in our way? How do we overcome these, individually and collectively? How do we build community and campus capacity to engage each other as partners? How do we translate "principles" and "best practices" into widespread, expected practice?
