SIU System Office of Community Engagement Roadmap
The SIU System Office of Community Engagement Roadmap is a strategic guide to fostering meaningful connections between SIU campuses and the communities they serve. This roadmap highlights nine key areas that drive impactful engagement, including integrating community-focused initiatives into university policies, enhancing student learning through real-world experiences, and building strong relationships with external partners.
By supporting faculty, staff, and student leaders, securing funding for outreach efforts, and leveraging regional and national networks, SIU is committed to expanding the visibility and value of community engagement and higher education. A structured assessment framework ensures that these efforts make a lasting impact, while a focus on digital equity, community-driven strategic visioning and doing, and business data and technical assistance helps communities thrive in an ever-changing world.
Through collaboration and innovation, the SIU System is creating a stronger, more connected future—where education and community engagement go hand in hand.
