This report just released from HUD's Office of University Partnerships "celebrates the growing number of commitments that colleges and universities are making to their communities to provide better places in which to live, work, and learn." The report is comprised of 599 entries from 342 colleges discussing collaborative programs between institutions of higher education and their communities. The report is divided into seven categories of partnership: service learning, service provision, faculty involvement, student volunteerism, non-degree courses for the community, applied research, and major institutional change. This report updates the first volume on this subject published by HUD in 1995.
