Gardner Institute's Community Focus in Higher Education

The John N. Gardner Institute for Excellence in Higher Education places a significant emphasis on fostering and understanding community within the higher education landscape. This focus stems from the belief that strong, supportive communities are integral to student success and institutional development.

Their work in this area involves research, resource development, and strategic partnerships aimed at cultivating environments where students, faculty, and staff can thrive. The institute explores various facets of community, from student-to-student interactions to broader institutional culture.
