OFFICE OF COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS | 2019-2020 ANNUAL REPORT
LETTER FROM THE ASSISTANT CHANCELLOR
I am excited to present the second annual report of the Office of Community Partnerships, which highlights our continued commitment to community engagement. We believe that UW Tacoma has a transformational role to play in our larger community, serving as a catalyst and change agent for revitalizing and strengthening the social and economic life of the region. The UW Tacoma was established as an urban-serving university and community engagement is an integral part of this mission. Over the years, we have grown to become an anchor institution in the South Sound. Our research, teaching, and service connect us with our communities, close and far. And while our hands-on opportunities
Ali Modarres, Ph.D. Assistant Chancellor for Community Partnerships, Office of Community Partnerships
for engagement are often local, location alone does not define the geography of our partnerships. As this report indicates and our website (tacoma.uw.edu/ocp) attests, our faculty, staff, and students are partnering and co-learning with communities across the country and increasingly overseas. This is despite the global pandemic we have collectively faced for over a year. Our community partners who are on the frontline have graciously continued, and in many cases elevated, their work with us. We are honored to have their trust in our collective commitment to establish, grow, and sustain our partnerships with them. As we cast our hopeful gaze onto a brighter future in the postpandemic world, we stand ready to engage with our communities toward addressing a multitude of inequities and injustices which COVID-19 brought into focus. Respectfully,
Ali Modarres

LETTER FROM THE CHANCELLOR
The Office of Community Partnerships (OCP) is now maturing into a “one-of-a-kind” resource in the U.S. higher education landscape and multiple institutions are using it as an aspirational model for their campus. I believe OCP’s strategy and values closely reflect what the founders of UW Tacoma intended when they envisioned a campus in downtown Tacoma a little over 30 years ago. Just after I arrived in 2015, the Coalition of Urban Serving Universities (USU) released a report titled “Anchoring the Community: The Deepening Role of Urban Universities.” The report was based on a survey of the Chancellor Mark A. Pagano
43-campus USU membership at the time, and UW Tacoma was used as a case study, showing how an urbanserving mission was articulated and institutionalized.
TOGETHER WE HAVE PUT IN PLACE THE INFRASTRUCTURE AND SUPPORT TO GUIDE AND INSPIRE OUR CAMPUS ENGAGEMENT FOR THE COMING DECADES.
The report reflected positively on much of our work, including our community-engaging campus design, key partnerships with Tacoma Public Schools, Joint Base Lewis McChord, and YMCA of Pierce & Kitsap Counties, and how we socialized community engagement into the daily narratives of our faculty and staff. Overall, the report found that UW Tacoma was having a transformational role in the larger community by serving as a catalyst for change and is key to revitalizing downtown and boosting the social and economic life of our region. But that was only part of the story. The report also noted that critical infrastructure for sustained success with our urban-serving mission was missing. Resources deployed for community engagement were modest and no real tangible support was made available for faculty and staff engagement initiatives. The scaffolding necessary to deepen our relationships with a growing number of important partners was almost nonexistent. We lacked assessment tools for measuring progress or the effectiveness of the work to further guide resource allocation. The USU study became the guide for the work we have embraced as a campus over the last six years. Together we have put in place the infrastructure and support to guide and inspire our campus engagement for the coming decades. I believe the results have been remarkable, including receipt of the Carnegie Community Engagement Classification in 2020. And to be clear, this was not work that anyone carried out alone. It was the entire campus coming together on behalf of this wonderful community which surrounds UW Tacoma. In particular, I would like to recognize a few key individuals. When I arrived in 2015, Lisa Hoffman was serving as Assistant to the Chancellor for Community Engagement. Although her work had been primarily focused on the partnership with JBLM, Lisa was key in helping shape the goals for broader and deeper engagement and identifying the team that could best lead us there. Linda Ishem stepped into the role of Assistant Chancellor for Community Engagement in 2016, focusing on engaging partners who had not been sufficiently connected to campus through previous efforts. A plan to grow the campus infrastructure for engagement was then carefully worked out during the year-long application process for the Carnegie classification, co-led by Linda Ishem, Lisa Isozaki, and Bonnie Becker. Several outstanding committees were formed and charged with carrying out the detailed work of the various sections required in the application. Unfortunately, the pandemic began shortly after our achievement of the classification was announced, but we will have an opportunity to celebrate the opening of a brand-new Office of Community Partnerships facility soon. Dr. Modarres who currently serves as the leader of OCP and the outstanding staff have been instrumental in the early success of the office. So please enjoy this second annual report and feel free to experience a bit of pride in what you will read. Sincerely,
Mark A. Pagano UW Tacoma Chancellor

WHAT IS THE CARNEGIE CLASSIFICATION DEFINITION OF COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT? WHAT DOES COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT MEAN, IN THE CARNEGIE FRAMEWORK?
HIGHER EDUCATION AND THEIR LARGER COMMUNITIES for the mutually beneficial creation and exchange of knowledge and resources in a context of partnership and reciprocity. The purpose of community engagement is the partnership (of knowledge and resources) between colleges and universities and the public and private sectors to enrich scholarship, research, and creative activity; enhance curriculum, teaching, and learning; prepare educated, engaged citizens; strengthen democratic values and civic responsibility; address critical societal issues; and contribute to the public good. Community engagement describes activities that are undertaken in partnership with community members. In reciprocal partnerships, there are collaborative community-campus definitions of problems, solutions, and measures of success. Community engagement requires processes in which academics recognize, respect, and value the knowledge, perspectives, and resources of community partners. Community engagement topics and processes must be designed to serve a clear public purpose; building the capacity of individuals, groups, and organizations involved to study, understand, and collaboratively address issues of community concern. Community engagement is shaped by relationships that are grounded in reciprocity, mutual respect, shared authority, and co-creation of goals and outcomes. Such relationships leverage the university’s crossdisciplinary knowledge with community assets (where the strengths, skills, and knowledge of those in the community are welcomed, validated, and legitimized). Done well, these relationships cultivate democratic values, skills, and habits for all participants.

For students considering law school, Legal Pathways grew its “Exploring the Law” series for offering over 25 different workshops and panel events through the course of the year. The workshops were well attended by both students and alumni, with many law school applicants citing them as a source of support and information during the application process. Additionally, the program partnered with faculty and community leaders for the “Exploring the Issues” speaker series, hosting recent McArthur Fellow Lisa Daugaard; the protagonists of the award-winning
the Legal Pathways Fellows Summer Cohort in the 2021 academic year. The program will support up to twelve UW Tacoma students and alumni intending to apply to law school for the fall of 2022. The Fellows programs will provide students with access to a commercial LSAT preparation course, an application success mentor, a series of application workshops, and ongoing support through the law school application process. Legal Pathways intends for the Fellows program to run annually, with the next cohort launching in summer of 2022.

TACOMA WHOLE CHILD (TWC) Tacoma Whole Child transforms schools by creating safe, positive, engaging, and equitable learning environments through a mutually beneficial partnership between the University of Washington Tacoma (UW Tacoma) and Tacoma Public Schools (TPS). This partnership engages school district leaders, community agencies, school teams, and educators, and draws from research-based practices including trauma-informed, culturallyaffirming Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) and Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS). This year brought us all extraordinary challenges due to COVID-19 restrictions, heartbreaking losses, deeply disturbing racialized violence, and profound political unrest. Yet, challenges notwithstanding, the Tacoma
Laura Feuerborn, Ph.D., NCSP
Whole Child partnership endures, and we affirm our steadfast commitment to our work in meeting the rapidly increasing social-emotional needs of our diverse communities. The partnership team meets weekly and functions as a think tank and hub for TWC activities, steering TWC efforts through the creation of innovative plans and the review and alignment of efforts across the Tacoma School District. The team reviews data and seeks input and involvement from stakeholders. Through bidirectional engagement of community partners, this team aims to identify and fill service gaps more proactively and effectively and identify areas of celebration and opportunity for productive collaborations. We’ve navigated rapidly changing terrain over this past year, responding to the shift from in-person instruction

to online, and then to hybrid and in-person instruction once again. At the same time, we have sustained our systems-level discussions and visionary leadership, not losing sight of the bigger goal for our communities. Some outcomes of our work include, n Integrating SEL-focused goals into school improvement plans; n Adding new screening and assessment tools to monitor students’ SEL needs; n Planning for more equity-purposed teaming with more family and student voice; n Planning for more supports to address the needs of TPS educators. Each month, we now engage in deep reflection, creating learning reports to capture our insights as we develop deeper, more stable roots to support our partnership in these tumultuous times. We reflect on questions such as, “Whose voices are missing from our conversations? How do we better understand the current struggles and current realities of our communities? How can our students and families—particularly those who are Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC)—have more authentic opportunities to provide input on important decisions? Are we accessible to them both structurally and relationally?” While authentic collaboration and partnerships can be complex and require more time and work, the investment is worth it. Our communities need this commitment, perhaps now more than ever. We are grateful for the ongoing commitment and financial support provided by Tacoma Public Schools for this program. TWC is funded through a partnership agreement between Tacoma Public Schools and UW Tacoma.

ACTION MAPPING PROJECT The Action Mapping Project (AMP) is a youth-oriented and community-based project in Tacoma, Washington that fosters neighborhood change through data production, education, and direct action. In 2020-2021, AMP conducted activities with a range of professional and community partners. Notably, this work took place during the COVID-19 pandemic and was focused almost entirely on the third pillar of AMP’s core mission: Action to improve livability by motivating neighborhood and community change.

RECOGNITION FOR COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT THE UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON TACOMA RECOGNIZES AND CELEBRATES COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT THROUGH A VARIETY OF AWARDS AND OBSERVANCES. MANY FACULTY, STAFF, AND STUDENTS ON THIS CAMPUS ARE ENGAGED IN EXCITING COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIP ACTIVITIES, AND RECOGNIZING THEIR WORK IS A PRIORITY
DISTINGUISHED COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT RECOGNITION Created in 2013, this annual award recognizes the important and innovative community-engaged and community-based work by UW Tacoma faculty and staff. Beginning in 2021, a separate staff category is being added to recognize staff who demonstrate outstanding community-engagement work. Such work is based on an ethic of mutual benefit in which both the community partner and/or public and the university, its faculty, and/or its students benefit in ways that are not possible without the partnership. This work may be focused on teaching and learning, research, policy, citizenship building, creative work, or community building. Recipients of this recognition represent many and diverse activities, rooted in multiple disciplinary spaces. They exemplify how we can build partnerships that last across time and space, produce positive spaces of dialogue, deploy academic knowledge that helps improve social conditions, and remain humble in understanding the importance of co-learning. This is the spirit that guides our collective work and makes it possible for us to identify and recognize the outstanding examples of community engagement of our faculty and staff.

WASHINGTON CAMPUS COMPACT: STUDENT CIVIC LEADER FELLOWSHIP As a Washington Campus Compact member institution, UW Tacoma participated in the Student Civic Leader Fellowship Program, focused on supporting outstanding student leaders to address one or more of the following challenges on campuses and in Washington communities: food and housing insecurities, mental health, opioid epidemic, school-to-prison pipeline, K-16 civic education/community engagement. Four student fellows spent the 2020-20211 academic year working alongside Dr’s Christine Stevens and Chris Beasley to research Food Insecurity and Prison-to-College Pipeline issues, respectively. A total of $20,000 in grant funds were awarded from WA Campus Compact plus $5,000 from UW Tacoma Chancellor’s Office. In addition, student fellows were a part of a statewide learning community and a smaller cohort of 7 to 10 students, which brought together student-fellows, legislators, and community leaders throughout the year.

THE OFFICE OF COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS IS COMMITTED to advancing its capability to set and create pathways for community engaged scholarship, teaching, and service – a vision shared by our Seattle and Bothell campus colleagues. Through a process of dialogue, education, and action, our understanding and acceptance for work toward a shared definition of community engagement will provoke questions which guide our work and challenge established notions to seed future campus conversations.

COLLABORATORY: COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT DATA PORTAL
127 REPORTED PARTNERSHIP PROJECTS
OVERVIEW As a key part of the Carnegie Classification application, we continue to use the Collaboratory online interface to collect information about community engagement activities on campus.
150 COMMUNITY PARTNERS
This allows users to provide details of their partnerships to OCP while optionally hiding their partners and details from public view, when desired. The data collected through Collaboratory is being used to identify our local, regional, and global engagement partners as well as to inform internal decision-making regarding expanding our network of partners. Beginning in late 2020, OCP staff began working alongside other community engagement offices at institutions around the country to begin developing an assessment methodology for community

OFFICE OF COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS | 2019-2020 ANNUAL REPORT
CENTER FOR APPLIED URBAN RESEARCH (CAUR)
CAUR CONTINUES TO BUILD REGIONALLY AND LOCALLY RELEVANT DATA, PRODUCE RESEARCH REPORTS, AND DISSEMINATE INFORMATION THAT IS OF PARTICULAR INTEREST TO OUR COMMUNITY PARTNERS. CAUR has continued its data analytics support through several new projects and data visualization activities. Starting in Spring 2020, the Center began collecting and disseminating data related to initial unemployment filings in Pierce and King counties. The weekly longitudinal data, covering the months of January through August, were made available on our website for public consumption. This data documents the impact of COVID-19 on unemployment patterns by various industries, while comparing the two counties. It is clear from this data how COVID-19 disproportionately impacted low-wage jobs in the service sector. In addition to this project, the Center produced an affordable housing study for Pierce County. This document was used by Pierce County Executive and Mayors as they discussed a regional approach to dealing with the growing problem of housing unaffordability in the region. This year, we are also starting to conduct a research on a ‘digital landscape scan’ to

MOVING FORWARD
OVER THE NEXT FEW YEARS, OCP WILL CONTINUE TO BUILD ITS OVERALL SERVICE CAPACITY, as supported by its financial resources and level of staffing. However, it is our intention to establish and grow our support for Community Engaged Learning. This is not limited to officially recognized and designated courses in this category and will extend to any faculty member who wishes to experiment with designing a CEL course. Since CEL-related services are not currently provided on our campus, it is our priority to add infrastructure and build capacity in the coming academic year, pending the addition of new financial resources. We will continue to expand our circle of community partners, knowing that some community members are not familiar with our campus and when they need support, they do not know who to approach or how. While OCP has been functioning as the new front door to our campus, we plan to expand our outreach efforts, making sure that our office scales up its partnership facilitation role.

Having a well-defined S designation serves several purposes:
systematic infrastructure to acknowledge, define, guide, and implement community engaged learning opportunities. While the Office of Community Partnerships is designed to build, facilitate, explore community engaged activities, virtually every office and unit across campus has staff or faculty intentionally engaging in community partnerships. Some of the activities which support the work of community engaged learning, either through in-class or extra-curricular experiences include the Career Development Center (Institution to Institution Internships) and the Center for Student Involvement (Center for Service and Leadership).
n Signaling to students which courses include community engagement; n Allowing for assessment of CEL opportunities, including equitable access for students; n Providing guidance for faculty interested in practicing CEL in their courses; n Creating a mechanism for identifying CEL courses and potential resources to support them.
