A brief description of the policies and procedures that ensure community stakeholder engagement is applied systematically and regularly across the institution’s activities:
Activities of the College are clearly and timely communicated to all stakeholders, including trustees, faculty, staff, students, parents, alumni and the local community as appropriate to ensure adequate communication and consultation. In matters that affect the local community, the College seeks input from groups of stakeholders, such as the business community, houses of worship, local community groups, local legislators and public officials.

A brief description of how the institution identifies and engages community stakeholders, including any vulnerable or underrepresented groups:
Knox identifies stakeholders as those individuals who have a significant connection to the college as students, employees, alumni, contributors, and partners. Each constituency is connected to the College through a variety of communication channels. These communication channels include e-newsletters, mailings, meetings, and social gatherings. Appropriate channels may also include personal visits or programs with community organizations, such as service clubs.

A brief description of successful community stakeholder engagement outcomes from the previous three years:
The KnoxCorps (www.knox.edu/knoxcorps) is a community engagement partnership between Knox College and the Galesburg Community Foundation. This partnership -- now in its second year -- places recent graduates and current students in local non-profit organizations, where they contribute to the improvement of operations, service, and visibility for the organizations. Examples of community partners include the Sustainable Business Center, Knox County Health Dept., FISH Food Pantry, Knox Prairie Community Kitchen, and others. The recent graduates are supported by the local business community, who contribute the funds to support their stipends. The students are supported by College work-study funds for their service to the community.
