About the Impact Fellowship: 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
The fellow will receive an award of $4,000, which consists of $2,000 at the initiation of the project and an additional $2,000 upon submission of the report which should occur no later than November 10, 2025. Funds may be used at the awardee’s discretion. The fellow will count on planning and consultation support from CUMU.
