A new CIC program has attracted the interest of nearly two dozen independent colleges and universities that wish to pursue community engagement activities. The program, announced last fall, ties together previous and ongoing CIC work in community partnerships, service-learning, and urban missions. Technical assistance is available to the 100 institutions that submitted proposals to the Engaging Communities and Campuses grant program (see related story), but were not funded.
    Since the program was announced last fall, 21 institutions have expressed an interest in receiving help from a select group of field consultants. Of these, eight site visits have been scheduled. The program will conclude in August 2003.
    Detailed information outlining the technical assistance was sent last fall to the presidents of the 100 applicant institutions. For additional information on this service, contact CAPHE Associate Director Jacqueline Skinner at (202) 466-7230 or jskinner@cic.nche.edu.
