Dear John,

The modern university is physically connected with the town or city that surrounds it, but it too often feels detached in its culture and operations. With public-funding cuts, changing neighborhoods, and increased pressures around enrollment and retention, institutions can no longer operate in a silo. Close collaboration between colleges and their surrounding spaces is not only essential to running a 21st-century institution, but also critical to the health of a community as a whole.

The Chronicle's report, The Campus as City, examines the tensions and challenges of running a city within a city. This in-depth resource explores creative new ways to deliver services, what it means to be a responsible anchor institution, and the deep collaborations that drive major projects. In addition, the report features detailed case studies from colleges around the country that have worked in tandem with municipalities and local businesses.

Secure your copy and learn how to:

• Develop effective relationships with local government and community leaders
• Quantify the economic impact of your institution on the surrounding area 
• Identify major factors that drive large-scale community and municipal projects
  

As both colleges and cities continue to evolve and advance, ensure you're taking the steps to build relationships, close gaps, and improve town-gown relations.

Sincerely,

Amy Long
