Table 3.

Does the Two-Phase Process assist participating institutions in describing their CE efforts to internal and external stakeholders?

Subcategories	Project Leader’s Comments
Increased Communication with Internal Stakeholders, During the Project	• Team members learned quite a bit about each other's areas • A representative from the University's Office for Public Engagement participated in this assessment process • Allowed for conversations and thus awareness across offices with common and unique CE missions that didn't know of each other or work together • The thoughtfulness that surrounded the framework was invigorating. To me the best part of the process was the conversations about CE that resulted • It also provided an opportunity for the team to develop working relationships as several of the team members had not known each other prior to the project initiation • All extremely helpful to create common language across 3 schools in our Health Sciences • The greatest benefit of the project was the opportunity to gather people for whom CE is a major part of their job, but who had never had the chance to meet or spend time with their CE colleagues
Outcomes of Two- Phase Process Will Help in Describing CE Efforts to Internal and External Stakeholders	• Beyond this project, they [higher ups] plan to advance a more comprehensive survey effort across 3 schools based on the associate dean’s feedback • I'd like to share with the deans of participating schools. The provost will also be informed of findings. • Because they were not involved in the self-assessment process, it will be critical to hear their [community partners’] feedback and include them in setting priorities and goal setting • Lend[s] unique insight into how to share our findings back to leadership and how to make it (hopefully!) easy for them to move this forward • It really sets the stage for discussion • It gives very specific information for reporting to the community and the institution • Quantified a very difficult construct that can start a conversation with University leaders. Make CE a real thing and not just something we talk about

Project Leader’s Comments

Increased
Communication with
Internal Stakeholders,
During the Project

• Team members learned quite a bit about each other's areas
• A representative from the University's Office for Public Engagement
participated in this assessment process
• Allowed for conversations and thus awareness across offices with common and
unique CE missions that didn't know of each other or work together
• The thoughtfulness that surrounded the framework was invigorating. To me the
best part of the process was the conversations about CE that resulted
• It also provided an opportunity for the team to develop working relationships as
several of the team members had not known each other prior to the project
initiation
• All extremely helpful to create common language across 3 schools in our Health
Sciences
• The greatest benefit of the project was the opportunity to gather people for
whom CE is a major part of their job, but who had never had the chance to meet
or spend time with their CE colleagues

Outcomes of Two-
Phase Process Will
Help in Describing CE
Efforts to Internal and
External Stakeholders

• Beyond this project, they [higher ups] plan to advance a more comprehensive
survey effort across 3 schools based on the associate dean’s feedback
• I'd like to share with the deans of participating schools. The provost will also be
informed of findings.
• Because they were not involved in the self-assessment process, it will be critical
to hear their [community partners’] feedback and include them in setting
priorities and goal setting
• Lend[s] unique insight into how to share our findings back to leadership and
how to make it (hopefully!) easy for them to move this forward
• It really sets the stage for discussion
• It gives very specific information for reporting to the community and the
institution
• Quantified a very difficult construct that can start a conversation with
University leaders. Make CE a real thing and not just something we talk about
