Community Engagement and Partnerships Working Group

Strengthening reciprocal relationships locally, nationally and globally.

The Community Engagement and Partnerships Working Group will assess and reimagine how to ensure that the university builds and sustains meaningful, credible and mutually beneficial relationships with communities and external partners. It will make recommendations that would promote a values-based, intentional, proactive and enabling approach to partnership, and generate recognition for Carleton as a partner of choice and distinction for a broad range of collaborators locally, regionally, nationally and globally.

Central Question: What must Carleton change or retain at a system level under changing external expectations of value, access and relevance to ensure that its engagement and partnership ecosystem is responsive and sustainable; internally aligned; globally credible, reputable, competitive and prominent; and inclusively consequential in its impact by 2042?
