EN-13: Community Stakeholder Engagement

The University of Richmond's Bonner Center for Civic Engagement has adopted "full participation" as a guiding principle for its community engagement work, which includes consistently inviting community stakeholders into discussions about planning and priorities.

The Center for Civic Engagement (CCE) defines full participation as "an inclusive approach that seeks out and considers diverse perspectives, recognizes participants as whole people, and invites individuals to contribute meaningfully." This principle is applied to the selection of community stakeholders for participation on the CCE's Advisory Council (a body with faculty, staff, student, and significant community representation), and to the engagement of new and sustained partners.
