Strategic Plan

The Office of Economic Development and Community Engagement has released the 2022-2026 strategic plan!  The strategic goals of this plan are straight-forward - ensuring Accessibility to KSU and community resources, building Bridges toward sustained and mutually beneficial relationships, and instilling Confidence in collaborations and partnerships among both KSU stakeholders and community partners. Every aspect of our work will be defined by these ABC's and our office looks forward to continuing to serve both KSU and its external stakeholders.

Carnegie Classification

KSU has been recognized by the Carnegie Foundation with its Community Engagement Classification. To receive this designation the Carnegie Foundation engages with institutions in a substantive process of inquiry, reflection, and self-assessment and requires thorough data collection and documentation of important aspects of institutional mission, identity and commitments, and scope of work throughout the institution connected with the community.  Receiving this designation is a prestigious honor and places KSU as part of a select group of institutions that are considered national leaders in community engagement.
