Mission and Vision

Iowa Campus Compact's mission is to advance the public purposes of colleges and universities by deepening their ability to improve community life and to educate students for civic and social responsibility.

Our vision is that colleges and universities act as vital agents and architects of a diverse democracy, committed to educating students for responsible citizenship in ways that both deepen their education and improve the quality of community life. We challenge all of higher education to make civic and community engagement an institutional priority.

Strategic Plan
In 2010, Iowa Campus Compact's Executive director and Executive Committee made the decision to develop an organizational strategic plan. The planning process included meetings with member campuses and other key partners and asking strategic questions related to our organization and future growth. In total, ten campuses were visited with more than 50 people providing input on the process including community partners, faculty, staff and presidents. These conversations led to the development of a five-year strategic plan.

Strategic Goals and Direction:
1. Strengthen organizational infrastructure.
2. Further institutionalize civic engagement.
3. Meet critical community needs.
4. Assess and communicate impact.
