WELCOME TO PORTLAND STATE UNIVERSITY! Dear Colleagues, • Host a National Partnership Forum (March, 2008); Welcome to Portland State University! Portland State University’s second International Institute on Partnerships – 2011 is designed to support this important moment in the history of higher education. The debate about the importance of community-university partnerships is largely complete; the establishment of the Carnegie Foundation’s Elective Classification for Community Engagement, along with the development of several important rubrics, articles, and books supported by important national and <strong>international</strong> organizations, is testament to the permanent role that community-engaged partnerships will play for colleges and universities worldwide as the 21st century progresses. Yet, as many of you know, there is a paucity of scholarship concerning community-campus partnerships. This Institute is the next step in Portland State’s intentional response to address this important gap in our collective understanding. We are delighted you have chosen to join us; we count on you to help us continue to expand and disseminate the scholarship of partnerships. Briefly, since early 2008, the Office of Academic Affairs has funded Portland State’s overall Partnership Initiative, designed and implemented by our Center for Academic Excellence (CAE). Working closely with CAE faculty and staff, Amy Driscoll has assisted us in our efforts to: • Produce an online resource called the Guide for Reciprocal Partnerships - http://www.pdx.edu/sites/www.pdx.edu.cae/files/media_assets/Guide_corrected_041808.pdf (April, 2008); • Fund nine Portland State faculty/community partner research projects (May, 2008); • Develop an extensive partnership literature review (Available on-line at: (http://www.pdx.edu/sites/www.pdx.edu.cae/files/media_assets/LIT_REVIEW.pdf); • Undertake a campus-wide research project to investigate and disseminate promising partnership strategies (Phase I: May 2009); • Support 12 Portland State faculty researchers to each produce case studies of their community-engaged research partnerships (2010); and • Host the first and second International Institute on Partnerships (May, 2009 and 2011) It is imperative that community engagement in higher education be further developed and sustained through reciprocal community-campus partnerships. We appreciate your Institute attendance and especially your continued collaboration with us in our efforts to help: • Disseminate the knowledge base and resources on partnership development • Provide models and mentors for institutions • Establish a research base on partnerships • Guide scholars who wish to pursue the scholarship of partnerships • Demonstrate curriculum for promoting partnership understandings and practices for faculty and students. Enjoy your time in Portland, and visit us again soon. Best regards, Roy W. Koch, Provost
