Navigating Dynamic Campus-Community Relationships

Navigating Dynamic Campus-Community Relationships explores how higher education institutions and their community partners adapt and reimagine engagement practices in response to shifting demographics. Utilizing the conceptual frameworks around anchor institutions and place-based community engagement, this volume explores the paradox of higher education as both rooted in place and also responsive to dynamic change. Featuring multivocal narratives from institutional and community members, it offers transformative insights and actionable strategies to help community members, administrators, instructors, researchers, and students foster agile, responsive partnerships.
