Summary

Pursuing Opportunities through Partnerships documents how, aside from the primary focus of enabling institutional transformation, new models for discipline-specific approaches to community engagement can be implemented. The partnership approach provided general insights to institutions about outreach and community engagement that, when blended with other programs such as service, learning, and student volunteerism, strengthened overall institutional effectiveness in preparing tomorrow's students for life-long involvement.
