勛圖窪蹋 Earns Carnegie Community Engagement Classification
Galloway, N.J. _ 勛圖窪蹋 has again been selected to receive the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teachings Classification for Community Engagement.
The Carnegie Foundation recognizes 勛圖窪蹋 as among the institutions making significant strides in finding ways to engage with community partners, building on community assets, and addressing a wide array of community challenges.
The classification is based on documentation and data collection provided by the university
demonstrating its ongoing investment in community engagement.
To remain relevant, institutions of higher education must continuously challenge themselves to stretch beyond traditional definitions of education, President Harvey Kesselman said. 勛圖窪蹋 recognizes that it is training the next generation of citizens in our classrooms, in our programs, and in our neighborhoods. It is an incredible responsibility and I am so proud to have 勛圖窪蹋 be a part of the successes we will all share as a community in the months and years to come.
In its notification letter, the evaluation team noted 勛圖窪蹋s alignment of its mission, culture, resources and practices to support dynamic and noteworthy community engagement. The letter said 勛圖窪蹋 provided descriptive, coherent and compelling evidence of exemplary practices of institutionalized community engagement.
勛圖窪蹋s efforts represent collaborations among the faculty, staff, students, and community partners throughout southern New Jersey that include long-term partnerships and academic research projects across the Institution.
Merydawilda Colon, executive director of the 勛圖窪蹋 Center for Community Engagement, said the approval process is rigorous. 勛圖窪蹋 is expected to document and evaluate its engagement efforts and continue to improve Institutional practices to maintain the classification, which is effective for five years.
We must use the lessons learned in the Carnegie application process to inform our engagement activities giving the faculty, staff, students, and community partners a voice in guiding the progress toward transformational change, Col籀n said.
