Goal 7 Performance Indicators

Indicators of Community Engagement

In alignment with the IU Indianapolis (IUPUI transitioned to IU Indianapolis in 2024) strategic plan, Our Commitment to Indiana and Beyond, Goal 7: Deepen our Commitment to Community Engagement, the Office of Community Engagement, in coordination with other IU Indianapolis stakeholders, has identified performance indicators to measure three dimensions of engagement: rates of engagement, modes of engagement, and impact of engagement. A more indepth description of these and other indicators and their sources can be found in our Goal 7 Performance Indicators report.
