They wanted to find out what motivates institutes of higher education (IHEs) to participate in a CHI project and what the impact of those projects include. Though the sample was small, the survey yielded the following initial findings: · 95% of respondents agree that producing a CHI is in close alignment with their University’s mission statement · 77% of respondents agreed that involvement in producing/disseminating the CHI established new partnerships with community organizations · 88% agreed that existing partnerships with community organizations/agencies were strengthened as a result of working on a CHI project · 55% of respondents agreed that student learning benefitted as a result of participating in a CHI project If you work with an institute of higher education (IHE) and would like to participate in the survey, please click here. <http://click.icptrack.com/icp/relay.php?r=12841549&msgid=106451&act=FA33&c=1470057&destination=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.surveymonkey.com%2Fr%2F88NV27R> ------------------------------ follow us @NCoC <http://click.icptrack.com/icp/relay.php?r=12841549&msgid=106451&act=FA33&c=1470057&destination=http%3A%2F%2Ftwitter.com%2Fncoc> "Like" us on Facebook <http://click.icptrack.com/icp/relay.php?r=12841549&msgid=106451&act=FA33&c=1470057&destination=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2FNCoC1> This message was sent to [email protected] from: NCoC | [email protected] | National Conference on Citizenship | 1100 17th St. NW | Washington, DC 20036 Email Marketing by [image: iContact - Try It Free!] <http://www.icontact.com/a.pl/144186> Unsubscribe <http://app.icontact.com/icp/mmail-mprofile.pl?r=12841549&l=6377&s=FA33&m=106451&c=1470057> ―― View topic http://groups.dowire.org/r/topic/EOBCVUZEEtOkNpTN98iPM Leave group mailto:[email protected]?Subject=Unsubscribe
