The Concept

 

The Bonner Foundation is inviting campuses in the Bonner Network, an eventually beyond, to participate in the third cohort of the Bonner High-Impact Initiative, joining in 2014.  The High-Impact Initiative, launched in spring 2012, is catalyzing the creation of transformation teams--including staff, faculty, community partners, and students--to work over multiple years to integrate high-impact educational practices with high-impact community-campus partnerships.  Already, this approach is creating pathways to make civic learning and community engagement deeper, more pervasive, and more integrated.  It will result in higher levels of student learning, the integration and institutionalization of structures for sustained campus engagement, and community impact.

 

In 2012, we began with teams strategically comprised of faculty, administrators, students, and community partners. Institutions made a three-year commitment to the initiative, so that they may incorporate a developmental approach.  Senior academic and student affairs leaders have been involved, and teams have the support of their presidents.

 

 


 

 


 


 


 


 



 


 

Campuses that participate in th Bonner High-Impact Initiative will benefit in tangible ways, including by:

  • Learning and applying the best models of high impact educational practices and deep community engagement;
  • Learning and applying assessment and strategic planning tools developed by the Bonner Foundation and other national leaders over the past twenty years; 
  • The empowerment and development of a campus-wide strategic leadership team who is capable of taking civic engagement at your institution to a national level;
  • Exposure to a national network of civic and educational leaders including AAC&U, the Council for Undergraduate Research, New England Resource Center for Higher Education, the Community Indicators Consortium, and others;
  • A clear articulation of the significance of your institution’s community impact (beyond the counting of students involved and service hours); and
  • A leadership role in a national initiative that will help move campus-community partnerships to the next level
