Miklozik Staff Center for Community Engagement |
Has the institution adopted a framework for community stakeholder engagement in governance, strategy and operations?:
A brief description of the policies and procedures that ensure community stakeholder engagement is applied systematically and regularly across the institution’s activities:
In 2008, the University implemented a strategic plan, Pathways to Success. Community partners were viable members of the plans’ committee members through engaging them in conversations and creating specific goals that had direct impact on the community through profit and non-profit entities. Outcomes from the 2008 Strategic Plan invited and created advisory boards for many of ISU’s departments. The opportunity for conversation and suggested implementation by community stakeholders captures the relationship ISU community can gain by engaging with the Wabash Valley.
A brief description of how the institution identifies and engages community stakeholders, including any vulnerable or underrepresented groups:
The University has guided efforts, from our community stakeholders, through designated partnerships. Ryves Neighborhood Partnership, Downtown Terre Haute, Farrington Renaissance, and Rural Health Innovation Collaborative are targeted populations in the Wabash Valley that ISU and the community are working collaboratively on to offer resources and economic development. More specific descriptions of the partnerships can be found at http://www2.indstate.edu/publicservice/community/neighborhoods.aspx.
List of identified community stakeholders:

RURAL HEALTH INNOVATION COLLABORATIVE
The Rural Health Innovation Collaborative (RHIC) is a partnership between local higher education institutions, health care providers, and the City of Terre Haute.
A brief description of successful community stakeholder engagement outcomes from the previous three years:
The Center for Community Engagement offers a mini-grant program for faculty to develop service-learning projects with a partner in the Ryves Neighborhood.
ISU entered a formal partnership with DTH in 2005. DTH projects include business recruitment, support of the arts corridor, and promotion of downtown merchants and events, including the Downtown Block Party and First Fridays.
Farrington Renaissance serves as a coordinating entity between ISU and the residents of the Farrington’s Grove Historical District for the purposes of research, education, and implementation of projects.
One of RHIC’s five areas of focus is development of the neighborhood between Indiana State University and Union Hospital. RHIC’s plans include revitalization of the Locust and Lafayette Street corridors and housing/mixed use development.
