Drexel University’s Dornsife Center for Neighborhood Partnerships
A New Path in University and Community Relationship Building
Abstract
Drexel University's Dornsife Center for Neighborhood Partnerships took its inspiration from the hundred-year- old tradition of cooperative extension to build a neighborhood-based hub of programming that is designed to fulfill ambitious local goals for transformation. The Center relies on stakeholder planning to coordinate knowledge and academic resources from across the university together with nonprofit program partners to create integrated programming that meets the needs and interests of neighborhood and institutional participants. The strength of the model lies in the combination of participatory planning with a comprehensive institutional commitment to its success.
