Campus Compact  

Definition

  • CAMPUS COMPACT IS a consortium of over 900 university and college presidents, representing more than five million students, across the United States, whose stated mission is to advance the public purposes of colleges and universities by deepening their ability to improve community life and to educate students for civic and social responsibility. The organization was founded in 1985 by the presidents of three private universities (Brown, Georgetown, and Stanford) as well as by the president of the Education Commission of the States, an organization that serves a clearinghouse function for advising education institutions on helping state leaders shape educational policies.
