Ohio State is an institutional member of several national organizations focused on community-engaged scholarship. Our institutional membership enables Ohio State faculty, staff and students to participate in a variety of opportunities provided by these organizations.
Engagement Scholarship Consortium
Composed of higher education member institutions, a mix of public and private colleges and universities. Our goal is to work collaboratively to build strong university-community partnerships anchored in the rigor of scholarship and designed to help build community capacity.
Coalition of Urban and Metropolitan Universities
An international affiliate organization of colleges and universities in metropolitan and urban areas that share common understandings of their institutional missions and values. Institutions located in urban and metropolitan areas often do not fit the model of more traditional colleges and universities.
Campus Compact
Empowers colleges and universities to advance their academic and civic missions by partnering with communities to address complex social issues and further equity, justice and prosperity for all. Campus Compact is the largest and oldest higher education association dedicated to higher education civic and community engagement.
