Project Description
Overall goal: Build key technical and institutional infrastructure that will result in better data to inform decisions about how community engagement efforts can be more strategic, coordinated, effective, and responsive to community issues. More specifically, in this first year, we will: 1) create an online searchable map that depicts the location of select IUPUI engagement activities in the surrounding communities as well as socio-economic conditions, demographics and community assets, 2) engage stakeholders in using the map as a vehicle for more strategic multi-disciplinary collaboration to address pressing community issues with the ultimate goal of improving quality of life for central Indiana residents, and 3) work with campus leadership to extend existing campus reporting requirements to capture better data on engagement activities.
