| Description: | Campus Compact is a national coalition of more than 1,100 college and university presidents — representing some 6 million students — dedicated to promoting community service, civic engagement, and service-learning in higher education. "Starting in 1985 with just four committed leaders, our coalition has grown to more than 1,100 college and university presidents — representing more than a quarter of all American higher education institutions. Together, we have made educating citizens a national priority. How have we been able to achieve so much? * As a presidents organization, Campus Compact's reach extends across campus, allowing a coordinated approach to building community programs. * We develop and spread effective practices through a multifaceted approach that combines research, policy work, fundraising, and training. * Our extensive print and online resources have helped thousands of campuses form effective community partnerships, combine service with academics, and nurture student leaders by providing real-world learning experiences. * Our unique structure, with a national office and 34 state offices, allows us to provide national advocacy and leadership as well as on-the-ground programs." |
