Mission Statement

Oregon Campus Compact promotes civic and community engagement as a core educational approach for student development as citizens, leaders, and lifelong learners.

To this end, it encourages, supports, and leverages the work of institutions to educate responsible citizens and caring leaders through service by:

• Functioning as a statewide coalition of college and university presidents and their institutions;
• Serving as a catalyst for institutions to create curricular and co-curricular community engagement opportunities for students that enrich student learning and develop the skills and habits of citizenship;
• Encouraging the engagement of faculty in community-based scholarship that addresses societal concerns;
• Fostering the development of collaborative partnerships among campuses and with communities across Oregon;
• Supporting civic and community engagement by cultivating and encouraging open discourse on issues and values.
