North Carolina Campus Compact is a coalition of colleges and universities collaborating to increase campus-wide participation in community and public service. Presidents and chancellors commit their institutions to join with other schools in becoming “engaged campuses” that enhance students’ sense of responsibility, citizenship, leadership and awareness of community, while reinvigorating higher education’s concern for improving the quality of life in North Carolina.  NC Campus Compact is a member of National Campus Compact.

Working together towards the mission
NC Campus Compact joins together to promote civic engagement in order to unite campuses, empower students, and impact NC communities. The state office works with member institutions throughout the state to promote and enhance campuses engaged with their communities and producing civically-minded graduates.

Network values

• Community service, volunteerism, and civic engagement of students, graduates, faculty and staff
• Connecting with communities and community organizations in reciprocal relationships
• Working collaboratively with higher education institutions towards common goals and visions
• Creating recognition and understanding of what it means to be a global citizen
• Intentionally working to develop NC communities as participative democracies
• Lifelong learning that is reflected by critical thinking, reflection, and compassion as new situations are encountered

Our vision
All higher education institutions in North Carolina will be members of the Compact.  They will be engaged campuses that are well-integrated in their communities, producing graduates committed to lifelong engagement.  North Carolina will see the Compact and its members as key partners in creating solutions and promoting active citizenship.
