Has the institution adopted a framework for community stakeholder engagement in governance, strategy and operations?:
A brief description of the policies and procedures that ensure community stakeholder engagement is applied systematically and regularly across the institution’s activities:
Florida State University vigorously works to promote the mutuality and reciprocity of our community engagement partnerships. Due to the decentralized nature of our university, these efforts are realized by individual colleges and/or program partners. We continue to enhance our efforts to engage stakeholders and ensure timely, effective, and appropriate responses to community feedback and needs.
A brief description of how the institution identifies and engages community stakeholders, including any vulnerable or underrepresented groups:
Many of FSU’s outreach and service partnerships include Title I schools and programs that serve underrepresented members of the local community. Program examples include: Community Partnership Initiative, FSU CARES, Youth Programs, PeaceJam, and SSTRIDE.
List of identified community stakeholders:
Through our Centers, Institutes, research initiatives, and individual programs, Florida State University has relationships with hundreds of organizations, spanning across the globe and touching on numerous topic/social issues. Compiled list of local community organizations, arranged by issue topic:

A brief description of successful community stakeholder engagement outcomes from the previous three years:
Sample outcomes include:
- Strengthen the relationships that the University has with agencies in and around Tallahassee to effectively and efficiently match students with meaningful volunteer opportunities that ultimately contribute to the solution of community needs.
- Expand the learning environment beyond the campus and out into the community, giving the community agency staff the opportunity to serve as co-educators, thereby contributing to the education of our students and strengthening the relationship between community and University.
- Open opportunities for students to grow in their respective fields and to have a better vision of the impact that they can have in our society.
- Encourage college students to serve as mentors to at-risk youth and ensure those youth can be successful in life; to empower college students to realize the tangible impacts they can have on someone else's life.
