The Civic Engagement Cluster: A Case Study of Building Interorganizational Collaboration

Presenter(s): Aaron D. Anderson and Marvin W. Peterson, University of Michigan
Convener: Sherida E. Paulsen, Pasanella + Klein Stolzman + Berg

External pressures are forcing colleges and universities to create innovative methods for improving academic and non-academic functions to transform their institutions. As one solution, administrators and faculty are called to work in more collaborative, cross-institutional arrangements. Presenters describe the process of forming a multi-institutional "Civic Engagement Cluster" (a collaborative of ten different institutions) and identify important lessons for making that process work. Get advice for developing and planning similar learning collaboratives.
This knowledge resource from SCUP is a concurrent session presented at the Society's thirty-sixth annual, international conference and Expo, SCUP–36, in Boston, MA (USA), in July of 2001.

Audiocassettes of this and other SCUP–36 sessions are available for purchase here.

Due to our concern for the privacy of members of the face-to-face audiences at SCUP-36, our digital archives of SCUP-36 presentations end at the beginning of the question and answer portion of each session. Whenever we can, we not only provide streaming audio but the slide show or visual presentation used by the presenters, as well.
