Indiana University Indianapolis
EN-13: Community Stakeholder Engagement

Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis has strengthened its commitment to faculty, staff, students and the Indianapolis community through the creation of a comprehensive Office of Community Engagement. The new office, which builds on IUPUI’s international reputation for engagement, coordinates meaningful connections between internal campus resources—faculty, staff and students—and external partners such as businesses, nonprofits, schools, health care providers and neighborhood organizations. Through the integration of the Office of External Affairs, the Community Learning Network, the Center for Service and Learning and the Solution Center, the Office of Community Engagement will be charged with identifying engagement focus areas that address high priority, community-identified needs. Campus Leadership is led by Chancellor Nasser Paydar and his administration includes the Chancellor’s Cabinet, the IUPUI deans, and the IUPUI Board of Advisors. These groups work with the chancellor to fulfill IUPUI’s mission of advancing Indiana and the intellectual growth of its citizens through research and creative activity, teaching and learning, and civic engagement. The IUPUI Board of Advisors is composed of government, business, and civic leaders from the Indianapolis area who are appointed by the IU Board of Trustees.

IUPUI COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT TASK FORCE One of IUPUI’s greatest strengths is our commitment to community engagement. Civic engagement is a key element of our mission, and through the dedicated work of students, faculty, and staff, IUPUI has gained national recognition and numerous awards for our commitment and our accomplishments. As we launch the strategic planning initiative, we have a prime opportunity to build on our accomplishments and develop strategies to enhance and expand IUPUI’s engagement with the community. The work of the IUPUI Task Force on Community Engagement builds on IUPUI’s self-study for the Higher Learning Commission, align with Indiana University’s Principles of Excellence, and inform IUPUI’s new strategic plan. The group takes a broad view of community engagement at IUPUI, reviews our activities, and recommends policies, strategies, priorities, procedures, and structures that can enhance the effectiveness and extent of community engagement at IUPUI. Civic and community engagement is diffuse at IUPUI, involving multiple centers, school, and faculty initiatives. Consistent with its focus, the Task Force could considers engaging members of the community as it completes its work. The Task Force is especially encouraged to consider the following questions: - How is community engagement organized at IUPUI, and what organizational structures would enable us to enhance and expand community engagement? - How does our campus identify community issues and respond to pressing needs? - Are there community needs we are equipped to address that we are missing? - How are we evaluating our activities and assessing our impact? - How are we communicating with the community our willingness to engage and the mutual benefits of engagement? - Are there ways we can be more effective?
