Please read and answer this question about assessment activities on your respective campus, and please include which campus you represent. The questions are split into different threads to easily compare and contrast the answers from each institution. The information gathered from these questions will provide a useful follow-up discussion at the William and Mary Active Citizens Conference. Please remember to answer all four questions. Thanks!

Question 1: What is the mission statement/strategic plan element for your institution that relates to civic engagement/community engagement/social responsibility?

At UR:
Our University’s strategic plan has 5 guiding principles. One of these, Principle 4, directly relates to civic engagement:

Principle IV: The University will be intentionally engaged with the city of Richmond and the wider region. Community engagement will be both a method to shape students within a civic- minded campus culture and a means to contribute the intellectual capital and skills of faculty, staff, students, and alumni to the identified needs of the larger community.
