Carnegie Foundation Classification for Community Engagement (CCE)

Outreach and Partnerships

Outreach and Partnerships describe two different but related approaches to community engagement involving either faculty, staff, and/or students. The first focuses on the application and provision of institutional resources for community use with benefits to both campus and community. The latter focuses on collaborative interactions with community and related scholarship for the mutually beneficial exchange, exploration, and application of knowledge, information, and resources (research, capacity building, economic development, etc.).
