Description

In this session, we present a new pilot measure, co-created by our research team, comprised of community partners and Tisch staff, to understand how community partners perceive the value and impacts of their Tisch College and Tufts University partnerships. Recognizing the importance of centering community knowledge in community-university partnerships, our team prioritized community organization perspectives shared over a year of focus groups and interviews to design the measure. We invite attendees who are committed to amplifying community partner voices, to join an interactive session to review and help us refine the scale. This session will offer participants an opportunity to reflect on how they measure impact in their own communities and to share insights and challenges in this process.
