Institutional Processes to Determine Community Engagement Impact: A Collective Case Study

• In Event: Beyond Main Hall: Collaboration and Community Engagement

Abstract

This collective case, grounded theory study was designed to explore the processes by which large, public, urban institutions determine the impact their community engagement has within the local community. Findings suggest the capacity to determine impact is limited, requiring greater institutionalization of engagement. Implications for research and practice are presented.
