Please let me know if you need accommodation for our meeting.
On November 19, 2024, there is a webinar entitled "The Process is the Prize: Reflections on High Quality Community-Engagement Partnerships and the Carnegie Community Engagement Application." To quote the description:
The Classification seeks to recognize institutions that demonstrate commitment and excellence in community engagement. As such, it requires a large body of evidence of meaningful and sustained institutional investment of systems and structures that support individuals, groups, and communities to work with each other for mutual benefit and in a context of reciprocal partnership.
In reciprocal and epistemically inclusive partnerships, there are collaborative community-campus definitions of problems, solutions, and measures of success. Community engagement requires processes in which academics recognize, respect, and value the knowledge, perspectives, and resources of community partners and that are designed to serve a public purpose, building the capacity of individuals, groups, and organizations involved to understand and collaboratively address issues of public concern.
And yet, in our engagement efforts, the community typically possesses less authority than the institution, and its assets are often overlooked or considered less essential. Despite progress toward more democratic practices, the dominant framework for university-community engagement continues to view the community as deficient and in need of fixing, and its residents as clients rather than co-educators, co-learners, and co-generators of knowledge;
This webinar considers why rhetoric and convictions often fall short of practice, and what we can do . It will explore: 1) Barriers that institutions face in pursuing reciprocity; 2) the benefit of focusing on "partnerships" rather than "projects" to achieve reciprocity; and 3) insights from experts who will share best practices in how to share authority, responsibility and accountability with community partners. Additionally, the webinar will provide key tips on how to weave the community's voice throughout the application and how to prepare your partners for the application partner survey.

This is a call for application reviewers for the Carnegie Classification. You will be trained. I have done this prior and will be hopefully doing it again this time around.
There will be a call for graduate students to aid in the process coming out soon. Once that is done, I will post to the listserv to share with graduate students.

Starting in the 2024 cycle, the Carnegie Elective Classifications piloted a peer review process for the Community Engagement Classification and will continue to offer this in the 2026 cycle. The goal of having a peer review process is to make the elective classification of and by the field and increase the diversity of reviewers who both understand and represent the broader landscape of higher education institutions and community engagement.
Please fill out the application below to be considered to be a Tier One Reviewer for the 2026 Community Engagement Elective Classification cycle. Please read the entire call for reviewers<https://acenet.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_4MZFzxUkdzQ4kFU> before applying.
Reviewers will be trained in holistic review practices and approaches and reviewer documentation. Tier One Reviewer teams will be constructed to represent a diversity of backgrounds and experiences. The Carnegie Elective Classifications Office will determine the number of required reviewers based on the number of institutions that indicate they will apply in the 2026 cycle. The Elective Classifications Office will make a limited selection of individuals from diverse backgrounds, experiences, and institutions.
The review process is three-tiered:
Tier One: Peer Review Teams - 3-4 individuals per team; teams will review 8-10 applications. If teams do not reach a consensus, then reviews will move to a senior review committee.
The Elective Classifications Office will select and train reviewers from diverse backgrounds, experiences, and institutions. Reviewers will be compensated $150 for the training and $100 per application reviewed.

Hello –
Thanks for the great conversation and especially for making it all work so easily! Here’s a recap of today’s meeting:
* Based on the survey results (thanks for the quick responses!), our F2Fis set for May 29 & 30 at the Big Ten Conference Center in Rosemont, IL. We will begin on Thursday at 8:30 and wrap up by noon on Friday.
* We developed an outline for our meeting agendas for the first four meetings of 2025, see attached. Thanks to those who agreed to lead the sessions – should be great discussions!
* We will continue to evolve that outline with topics we feel best suited for the F2F and for other monthly meetings. If you had ideas to add to that, please do!
* Given scheduling, our December meeting will be cancelled. Since the first Friday is on January 3, 2025, that may not work for many. Our next meeting will be Friday, January 10; a meeting invite will be forthcoming. After that, we will get back to our regular first Friday cadence.
Anything we’re missing? Again, thanks for being an amazing group of colleagues!
