University-Community Partnerships Universities in Civic Engagement

Community Outreach Partnership Centers (COPC) sponsored by the United State Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) have identified civic engagement and community partnership as critical themes for higher education. University-Community Partnerships: Universities in Civic Engagement examines the roles that social workers have played in the expanding efforts by universities to respond to the social, economic, educational, health and civic needs of their local and regional communities. This unique book addresses past, present, and future models of university-community partnerships, COPC programs, wide-ranging social work partnerships that involve teaching, research, and social change, and innovative methods in the processes of civic engagement.Soska, Tracy is the author of 'University-Community Partnerships Universities in Civic Engagement', published 2005 under ISBN 9780789028365 and ISBN 0789028360.
