UNF Earns Carnegie 2010 Community Engagement Classification

The University of North Florida has received the 2010 Community Engagement Classification from the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching in recognition of the University’s exceptional commitment to community engagement. UNF is among 115 institutions to be added to the classification this year, bringing the total to 311 since 2006. The classification is given to institutions that demonstrate a mission, culture, leadership, resources and practices that support “dynamic and noteworthy community engagement” as well as exemplary programs to promote civic engagement.

The University is establishing a name for itself due to its Transformational Learning Opportunities (TLOs) as well as its Community-Based Transformational Learning programs. TLOs are unique and engaging educational opportunities that broaden and deepen students’ intellectual and world views. These opportunities may occur within a course, extend beyond the framework of a specific course, or be co-curricular in nature. Community-Based Transformational Learning extends the TLO concept by intentionally engaging students in community-based settings and reflects UNF’s longstanding and ongoing commitment to active community engagement as expressed in its mission: UNF will prepare students “to make significant contributions to their communities in the region and beyond.”
