Strategic Priority Areas for 2022 and beyond
1. Engage Based on Community-Identified Priorities - Ensure that expertise, ideas, priorities, and data gathered directly from a diverse cross-section of community partners inform where and how the Swearer Center connects and devotes resources (for example, students placed through curricular or co-curricular programs, VISTA placements, work study placements, course projects, research projects, curriculum/program development). An emphasis will be placed on community partners who are working with people most impacted by social injustice.
2. Foster Student Reflection, Learning & Civic Commitment - Ensure that Swearer Center teaching, educational programming, and advising are clearly aligned with learning outcomes (for example, critical reflection, integrative learning, cultural understanding and humility, and ethical practice). Further, foster students’ demonstrated commitment and action towards a more inclusive, just, and sustainable world.
3. Promote Pathways for Community-Engaged Teaching & Research - Create and maintain resources and opportunities that promote pathways for the development, implementation, and/or sustenance of teaching and research by faculty, students, and staff. These are created and conducted via equitable and sustainable partnerships with community organizations, institutions, groups, and individuals to address issues locally, nationally, and globally.
4. Build Capacity & Align Processes to Advance Social Justice - Strengthen, leverage, and sustain Brown University’s investments in people, relationships, systems, and tools, and align programs and processes on- and off-campus to advance social justice. Collaborate to advance and enhance Brown University’s policies and practices that honor and are informed by community Input.
