This October 2005 report by the
Carol R. Goldberg Seminar documents the enormous impact of colleges and universities on Greater Boston's economy, quality of life, identity, and civic leadership and celebrates a recent blossoming of college-community partnerships. It suggests that these partnerships need to be accelerated and brought to scale and proposes the creation of a new regional alliance of college and university presidents from across public and private sectors -- which does not currently exist -- to accomplish those tasks. The proposed alliance would promote the sector writ large, pursue civic building and economic development and other partnership opportunities with business, government, and civic institutions, and work with individual colleges and universities and civic authorities to promote new approaches to campus-community interactions.
