All Day
One CUMU Impact Fellow will be selected for 2025. During the fellowship period, the awardee will produce a report on the state of the field related to a key topic related to community engagement and/or regional impact. Prospective fellows should bring their own expertise and experience to bear in order to propose a project that leverages their strengths.
Suggested topics include, but are not limited to:
- Metrics for tracking a campus’ impact as an anchor institution
- How regional anchor collaborations measure, report, and improve impact
- Community engagement impact: how data is collected, maintained, analyzed, and communicated
- The role of data and analytics in advancing the urban mission in higher education
- Key frameworks or populations in community engagement or regional impact work
Fellowship deliverables
- Research and produce a state-of-the-field report on proposed topic
Disseminated as a public facing CUMU report (See examples Homelessness & Housing Insecurity and Building Community Capacity via Place-Based Hyperlocal Engagement), this document is meant to provide an essential state-of-the-field overview to CUMU’s membership on a topic of high interest.
- Present a webinar for CUMU membership on report topic
The webinar will take place in August or September 2025, prior to the publication of the final report. CUMU will work with the fellow to coordinate the best day/time.
Proposals accepted until March 31, 2025. For questions regarding the 2025 CUMU Impact Fellow, contact us at info@cumuonline.org.
