In 2019, the Northwest 5 Consortium, five liberal arts colleges in the Pacific Northwest, received a grant from the Mellon Foundation to enhance institutional cultures of community-engaged learning through regional collaboration. The grant identified the Arts and Humanities as central to building knowledge and responding to endemic challenges, as well as fostering long-term reciprocal relationships among the NW5C colleges and with our community partners. In this session, we share takeaways from the collaborative grant experience and next steps. Promising aspects of community engagement through a regional consortium include: deeper relationships across the campuses, a more collective approach to community partner engagement and assessment, and shared resources. Participants will leave with concrete ideas for building regional relationships across institutions.
