Sixteen CIC colleges and universities that are pursuing community engagement activities took advantage of a program related to the Engaging initiative that was introduced in the fall of 2001. Technical assistance was offered to all 100 institutions that submitted proposals to the Engaging program but were not funded. Site visits from a 26-member consulting group ranged from faculty development workshops and presentations on service learning to private consultations with campus leaders. Knowledge gained from the site visit reports, provided by both the institutions and the consultants, have been integrated into the Engaging program evaluation, helping to expand and deepen understanding of the issues related to developing, implementing, and maintaining community partnerships.
