    Community-College-University Collaboration.
    For the common good.

    Together, communities and post-secondary institutions can champion social innovation and societal change. By collaborating, we can enhance the rigour and relevance 
    of the scientific research process.1 Yet there are barriers that challenge institutions of higher learning to re-engineer their policies to foster the formation of authentic community partnerships in support of the common good. Join us for an immersive dialogue exploring challenging questions about the future direction of community-campus partnerships.

    What kinds of collaborations are we talking about?

    Good question! Here are a few examples:

    Research: community-engaged researched, participatory action research
    Experiential education: co-operative education, service learning, practicums
    Senior leadership: alliance-building with public and private sectors, domestic and international
