Dear Colleagues,
The Anchor Institutions Task Force is pleased to
announce the publication of the Anchor Institutions Task Force Edition of
the Journal of Higher Education Outreach & Engagement. The
description of this volume is below.
This volume of the Journal emerges
from the growing need to share experiences, challenges, successes and
strategies of anchor institution-community partnerships. As interest in
the role and value of anchor institutions for community and economic
development continues to grow, so does the need to improve and share our
knowledge about what it takes to create and sustain collaborative
strategies.
In this edition, several Anchor Institutions
Task Force members have come together to voice some of our thoughts and stories
on the potential of anchors, especially colleges and universities, to stabilize
and transform lives and livelihoods in localities. Special thanks to this
issue’s editors: Eugenie Birch, David C. Perry, and Henry Louis Taylor. All
three of these editors are on the AITF’s Steering Committee. Authors are:
Eugenie Birch (University of Pennsylvania), David C. Perry (University of
Illinois at Chicago), Henry Taylor (University at Buffalo, SUNY), Nancy Cantor,
Peter Englot, and Marilyn Higgins (Syracuse University), James T. Harris III
and Marcine Pickron-Davis (Widener University), Eduardo J. Padrón (Miami Dade
College), Thomas K. McKeon (Tulsa Community College), Frederick J. McGrail
(Lehigh University), Elizabeth Hudson (University of Michigan), Robert F.
Kronick and Robert B. Cunningham (University of Tennessee).
