" We can have  concentrated wealth in the hands of a few or we can have democracy, but we cannot have both."

Engaged Scholars                                                                                                                    

In Ernest L. Boyer's Scholarship for Engagement, he challenges that, "the academy must become a more vigorous partner in the search for answers to our most pressing social, civic, economic, and moral problems, and must reaffirm its historic commitment to what I call the scholarship of engagement."

In our efforts to promote the scholarship of engagement, Colorado Campus Compact invites scholars to:

FOUND PARTNERSHIPS  that are based on shared vision

CREATE MUTUALLY BENEFICIAL RELATIONSHIPS based  on trust and respect

COMMUNICATE clearly and listening carefully

SHARE POWER AS PARTNERS begin to identify the intersection of self interests

INVOLVE THE PARTICIPATION OF MULTIPLE SECTORS that act in service to a complex problem
