Objectives:

• Implement conversations/dialogues within the university community that includes external partners which helps individuals and units determine their personal and collective vision for outreach/engagement;
• Empower members of the university community to develop collaborative leadership initiatives that will strengthen Ohio State's outreach/engagement and which are responsive to community needs;
• Develop a broad group of leaders who have the skill to implement policy, program, procedures, and funding changes that will support outreach/engagement that is concurrent with their mission and integrated into other activities of the unit; and
• Institute outreach/engagement initiatives that demonstrate Ohio State as being more responsive to societal needs.

Some of this project's activities are:
