Exploring Campus-Community Relationships

MODERATOR: Patrick Green, editor, Metropolitan Universities

PANELISTS: Authors: Kathleen Clark, Augsburg University; Kathryn Young, Metropolitan State University of Denver; M. Meghan Raisch, Temple University

Metropolitan Universities, the journal of the Coalition of Urban and Metropolitan Universities, provides an opportunity for scholarly peer-reviewed online publication that centers the relationship between communities and campuses. In this webinar series, authors and editors discuss key ideas from the most recent issue and invite readers to join in the work of connecting our scholarship to our practice.

In a recent issue, a variety of authors composed research and praxis articles exploring various facets of campus-community relationships. From case studies on anchor institution models and place-based education to exploration of dual enrollment, community partnerships, trauma-informed practices, and global education in online spaces, this issue broadly addresses complex themes inquiring into higher education and community relationships. How do we deepen our institutional engagement with community, overcome barriers, increase access, and foster student success?
