2026 Institute on Community Transformation
Goals
Participating campuses will advance community transformation by
- creating positive narrative change that strengthens connection and belonging;
- promoting practices that build trust and shared understanding on campus and in surrounding communities;
- learning strategies to advance community healing in your organizational context;
- addressing structural barriers to opportunity in education, economy, and civic life;
- aligning institutional priorities with student success and campus climate goals; and
- envisioning communities rooted in shared humanity rather than false hierarchies of value.
