INSTITUTIONAL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS AND SERVICES NETVUE - WITH GENEROUS SUPPORT FROM LILLY ENDOWMENT INC., CIC CONTINUED TO STRENGTHEN ITS NETWORK FOR VOCATION IN UNDERGRADUATE EDUCATION (NETVUE). THE NATIONAL CAMPUS-SUPPORTED NETWORK BROADENS AND DEEPENS VOCATIONAL EXPLORATION AND DISCERNMENT AMONG UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS. NETVUE'S FOCUS ON "VOCATION- AND "CALLING" IS BROAD, GIVING ATTENTION TO THE THEOLOGICAL, PHILOSOPHICAL, ETHICAL, AND PRACTICAL ELEMENTS OF THIS LANGUAGE. LAUNCHED IN 2009, NETVUE GREW QUICKLY AND CURRENTLY HAS 266 COLLEGE AND UNIVERSITY MEMBERS AND SIX ORGANIZATIONAL MEMBERS. SEVERAL DISTINCT PROGRAMS AND EVENTS ARE PART OF THE BROADER NETVUE PROJECT: NETVUE NATIONAL CONFERENCE AND REGIONAL WORKSHOPS - CAMPUS TEAMS GATHER REGULARLY FOR PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT AND SHARING OF BEST PRACTICES. BIENNIAL NATIONAL CONFERENCES ALTERNATE WITH REGIONAL GATHERINGS HELD IN OFF YEARS. NETVUE TEACHING VOCATIONAL EXPLORATION SEMINARS - MULTIDISCIPLINARY SEMINARS ARE DESIGNED TO HELP FACULTY MEMBERS STRENGTHEN THE TEACHING OF VOCATIONAL EXPLORATION, DEVELOP NEW COURSES OR COURSE CONTENT, DEVELOP OR IMPROVE PEDAGOGICAL RESOURCES, AND ESTABLISH AN EXPANDING NETWORK OF FACULTY MEMBERS WHO ARE COMMITTED TO TEACHING VOCATIONAL EXPLORATION. NETVUE REFRAMING THE INSTITUTIONAL SAGA GRANTS - CIC WILL AWARD GRANTS FOR INSTITUTIONS TO RE-EXAMINE AND REFRAME OVER A TWO-YEAR PERIOD THE LANGUAGE IN WHICH THEY NARRATE THEIR HISTORIES. THE GOAL OF THE INITIATIVE IS TO HELP INSTITUTIONS BALANCE THEIR IDENTITY AND HERITAGE WITH OPENNESS TO DIVERSITY AND THE GOAL OF INCLUSION IN INCREASINGLY PLURALISTIC AND MULTI-FAITH CAMPUS ENVIRONMENTS. NETVUE VOCATION ACROSS THE ACADEMY GRANTS - CIC AWARDS GRANTS TO SUPPORT INSTITUTION-WIDE INITIATIVES AT NETVUE MEMBER COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES OVER A THREE-YEAR PERIOD TO EXPAND ONGOING PROGRAMMING IN THE VOCATIONAL EXPLORATION AND DISCERNMENT ACROSS THE LIBERAL ARTS AND APPLIED PROFESSIONAL FIELDS. NETVUE PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT GRANTS - CIC AWARDS GRANTS FOR USE OVER APPROXIMATELY TWO YEARS TO NETVUE MEMBER INSTITUTIONS TO HELP PARTICIPATING INSTITUTIONS DEVELOP AND EXPAND EXISTING CAMPUS PROGRAMS THAT FOCUS ON VOCATION AND CALLING AT COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES THAT ARE NETVUE MEMBERS AND MEET OTHER REQUIREMENTS. NETVUE PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT AWARDS - CIC AWARDS GRANTS FOR USE OVER A ONE-YEAR PERIOD TO ENHANCE THE KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS, AND EXPERTISE OF FACULTY AND STAFF MEMBERS WHO SUPPORT UNDERGRADUATE VOCATION-RELATED INITIATIVES AT NETVUE MEMBER INSTITUTIONS. NETVUE ORGANIZATIONAL MEMBERS SUPPORT - CIC OFFERS GRANTS TO NETVUE ORGANIZATIONAL MEMBERS TO STRENGTHEN THESE HIGHER EDUCATION ASSOCIATIONS BY SUPPORTING GATHERINGS OF THEIR MEMBERS OR OTHER PROJECTS RELEVANT TO VOCATION. NETVUE SCHOLARLY RESOURCES PROJECT - FOUR DISTINCT GROUPS OF SENIOR SCHOLARS, REPRESENTING A WIDE RANGE OF THEOLOGICAL TRADITIONS AND WITH EXPERTISE RELATED TO RESPECTIVE THEMES, WORK COLLABORATIVELY TO PRODUCE ARTICLES, BOOKS, AND OTHER RESOURCES FOR USE ON CAMPUSES THAT RESPOND TO BROAD VOCATIONAL QUESTIONS. NETVUE INITIATIVES ASSESSMENT - CIC WILL SUPPORT AN EMPIRICAL INVESTIGATION OF THE IMPACT OF INITIATIVES FOR VOCATIONAL EXPLORATION AND DISCERNMENT AT NETVUE MEMBER INSTITUTIONS. THIS WORK WILL FOCUS ON THE DIFFERENCE THAT SUCH PROGRAMS HAVE MADE FOR STUDENTS AND WILL INCLUDE ATTENTION TO THE WAYS THAT SUCH PROGRAMS CAN TRANSFORM FACULTY CULTURES, CURRICULAR INITIATIVES, ADMINISTRATIVE PRIORITIES, AND INSTITUTIONAL GOALS, AS WELL AS HOW THEY MIGHT DRAW ON OR ALIGN WITH INSTITUTIONAL HERITAGE AND MISSION. ONLINE RESOURCES - CIC PROVIDES A WIDE RANGE OF ONLINE RESOURCES FOR NETVUE MEMBERS, INCLUDING A DEDICATED WEBSITE, AN ONLINE COMMUNITY SITE, A PUBLICLY-ACCESSIBLE BLOG, A WEBINAR SERIES, INFORMAL VIRTUAL GATHERINGS OF VARIOUS CAMPUS CONSTITUENCIES, AND A SOCIAL MEDIA PRESENCE ON TWITTER. RECENT ADDITIONS HAVE FOCUSED ON HOW LEADERS CAN SUPPORT STUDENTS IN THE MIDST OF THE PUBLIC HEALTH CRISIS AND THE WIDENING FOCUS ON ISSUES OF RACIAL JUSTICE. LEGACIES OF AMERICAN SLAVERY: RECKONING WITH THE PAST - WITH SUPPORT FROM THE ANDREW W. MELLON FOUNDATION, CIC IS DEVELOPING A NATIONAL NETWORK OF INDEPENDENT COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES TO DEEPEN PUBLIC UNDERSTANDING OF THE MANY LEGACIES OF SLAVERY AND THEIR IMPACT ON AMERICAN LIFE AND CULTURE. IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE GILDER LEHRMAN CENTER FOR THE STUDY OF SLAVERY, RESISTANCE, AND ABOLITION AT YALE UNIVERSITY (GLC), CIC WILL SELECT FROM FORTY-FOUR APPLICATIONS SIX INSTITUTIONS IN DIFFERENT REGIONS OF THE UNITED STATES TO SERVE AS REGIONAL COLLABORATION PARTNERS. EACH "HUB" INSTITUTION WILL FOCUS ON A SINGLE THEME RELATED TO A LEGACY OF SLAVERY THAT IS ESPECIALLY RELEVANT TO ITS REGION. OVER FOUR YEARS, THESE SIX INSTITUTIONS WILL COLLABORATE WITH OTHER CIC MEMBER INSTITUTIONS, LOCAL AND NATIONAL CIVIC ORGANIZATIONS, AND K-12 SCHOOLS TO ADDRESS AMERICAN SLAVERY'S CONTINUING INFLUENCE THROUGH RESEARCH ACTIVITIES, UNDERGRADUATE COURSES, CURRICULAR DEVELOPMENT, AND PUBLIC EVENTS. DIVERSITY, CIVILITY, AND THE LIBERAL ARTS - WITH A GRANT FROM THE ANDREW W. MELLON FOUNDATION, CIC OFFERED INSTITUTES IN 2018 AND 2019 FOR FACULTY AND ADMINISTRATORS AT INDEPENDENT COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES TO DEEPEN UNDERSTANDING OF CURRENT SCHOLARSHIP THAT CAN INFORM CAMPUS DISCUSSIONS AROUND SUCH ISSUES AS IDENTITY, RACISM, INTOLERANCE, HISTORIES OF DISCRIMINATION AND INEQUALITY, AND EFFECTIVE METHODS FOR ACHIEVING SOCIAL AND POLITICAL CHANGE. CIC STAFF AND THE EXTERNAL EVALUATORS ARE PREPARING A REPORT ON LESSONS LEARNED TO BE SHARED WITH ALL CIC MEMBERS IN LATE 2020. HUMANITIES RESEARCH FOR THE PUBLIC GOOD - WITH A GRANT FROM THE ANDREW W. MELLON FOUNDATION, CIC IS DEVELOPING OVER THREE YEARS THE CAPACITY OF PARTICIPATING INSTITUTIONS TO MAKE GREATER PUBLIC USE OF MATERIALS IN THEIR SPECIAL ARCHIVAL AND LIBRARY COLLECTIONS. IN TWO COHORTS SELECTED INSTITUTIONS ARE ENGAGING STUDENTS IN RESEARCH PROJECTS THAT USE THE COLLEGES' SPECIAL LIBRARY COLLECTIONS, ARCHIVES, OR MUSEUM RESOURCES TO ADDRESS AN ISSUE OF IMPORTANCE TO THEIR RESPECTIVE COMMUNITIES OR REGIONS IN WHICH THE INSTITUTIONS ARE LOCATED. CIC ORGANIZED AN ADDITIONAL VIRTUAL WORKSHOP FOR CAMPUS PROJECT LEADERS AND THEIR STUDENT RESEARCHERS PARTICIPATING IN THE FIRST COHORT. TALKING ABOUT PRIVATE COLLEGES WORKSHOPS - CIC OFFERED THE FIRST THREE IN A SERIES OF SEVEN REGIONAL WORKSHOPS DESIGNED TO SHARE KEY DATA ABOUT THE IMPACT AND VALUE OF INDEPENDENT COLLEGES AND GIVE PARTICIPANTS PRACTICE IN SHAPING COMMUNITY ATTITUDES ABOUT PRIVATE HIGHER EDUCATION THROUGH INFORMAL CONVERSATIONS. THE INNOVATIVE PERSON-TO-PERSON APPROACH TO MAKING THE CASE FOR INDEPENDENT HIGHER EDUCATION COMBINES INFORMATION FROM MULTIPLE NATIONAL DATA SOURCES WITH ACTIVE LEARNING, STORY-TELLING STRATEGIES, AND ADVICE ABOUT INSTITUTION-SPECIFIC FOLLOW-UP ACTIVITIES. RE-DEFINING THE ROLE OF THE ACADEMIC LIBRARY IN SUPPORT OF THE INSTITUTIONAL MISSION - WITH A PLANNING GRANT FROM THE GLADYS KRIEBLE DELMAS FOUNDATION, CIC IS DETERMINING PRECISELY HOW IT CAN BEST ASSIST MEMBER COLLEGES AS THEY RECONSIDER THE ROLE OF THE ACADEMIC LIBRARY IN THE INCREASINGLY DIGITAL ENVIRONMENT. BASED ON SURVEY RESPONSES AND INTERVIEWS OF 102 MEMBER CHIEF ACADEMIC OFFICERS TO GAUGE HOW INDEPENDENT COLLEGES ARE NOW THINKING ABOUT THEIR LIBRARIES, CIC DEVELOPED A CONCEPT FOR A PROGRAM TO HELP MEMBER COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES REIMAGINE THESE CENTRAL LEARNING SPACES ON CAMPUS AND PREPARED A GRANT PROPOSAL FOR A LIBRARY-BASED PROJECT TO DESIGN, CURATE, AND IMPLEMENT OPEN EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES FOR CIC MEMBER INSTITUTIONS. INTERGENERATIONAL CONNECTIONS: STUDENTS SERVING OLDER ADULTS - IN COORDINATION WITH AND SUPPORTED BY A GRANT FROM THE AARP FOUNDATION, THE PROJECT DEVELOPED A NATIONAL NETWORK OF STUDENT PROGRAMS ON INDEPENDENT COLLEGE CAMPUSES THAT RECOGNIZE THE MUTUAL BENEFITS OF INTERGENERATIONAL INTERACTION WITH OLDER MEMBERS OF THE INSTITUTIONS' COMMUNITIES. GRANTS SUPPORT STRENGTHENING OR DEVELOPING NEW PROGRAMS ON CAMPUSES FOCUSED PRIMARILY ON SERVING THE BASIC NEEDS - HUNGER, HOUSING, INCOME, AND ISOLATION - OF ADULTS IN THEIR COMMUNITIES. A CONCLUDING CONFERENCE FOCUSED ON SHARING BEST PRACTICES FOR STUDENT ENGAGEMENT AND INTERGENERATIONAL CONNECTIONS AS WELL AS DISCUSSIONS ABOUT PROJECT SUSTAINABILITY, AND CIC RELEASED A WEB-BASED REPORT THAT HIGHLIGHTS BEST PRACTICES AND LESSONS LEARNED THROUGHOUT THE TWO-AND-A-HALF YEAR PROJECT. CIC ONLINE COURSE SHARING CONSORTIUM - IN NOVEMBER 2018, CIC ANNOUNCED A NEW MEMBER SERVICE OFFERED THROUGH AN ARRANGEMENT WITH ACADEUM, A TECHNOLOGY COMPANY WITH AN ONLINE PLATFORM WHERE INDEPENDENT COLLEGES CAN SHARE COURSES AND EASILY TRANSFER CREDITS AND FINANCIAL AID AS WELL AS ARRANGE FOR TUITION PAYMENTS. THE MAIN GOAL OF THE INITIATIVE ARE TO HELP STUDENTS STAY ON TRACK AND COMPLETE THEIR DEGREES BY THE OCCASIONAL USE OF ONLINE COURSES OFFERED BY OTHER CIC INSTITUTIONAL MEMBER CONSORTIUM PARTICIPANTS THAT ARE CLOSELY ALIGNED IN ACADEMIC STANDARDS, AVOIDING THE BURDEN OF

CONFERENCES AND OTHER EVENTS CIC'S INSTITUTES, CONFERENCES, SEMINARS, AND WORKSHOPS PROVIDE ONGOING PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES. THE 2020 PRESIDENT'S INSTITUTE EXPLORED THE THEME "HEALTHY INSTITUTIONS, STRONG LEADERS." THE INSTITUTE FOCUSED ON HELPING INDEPENDENT COLLEGE AND UNIVERSITY PRESIDENTS IDENTIFY STRATEGIES TO LEAD THEIR INSTITUTIONS - AND THEIR FACULTIES AND BOARDS - WITH VISION AND COURAGE TO ORGANIZATIONAL STRENGTH AND HEALTH IN THE FACE OF NEW CHALLENGES SUCH AS SHIFTING DEMOGRAPHICS, ERODING PUBLIC SUPPORT, AND THINNER OPERATING MARGINS. THE 2019 INSTITUTE FOR CHIEF ACADEMIC OFFICERS THEME "CHANGE: CONTINUITY, COMMUNICATION, AND CONNECTION" PROVIDED A FRAMEWORK FOR DISCUSSION AMONG CAOS AND PUBLIC RELATIONS DIRECTORS OF WAYS TO BLEND ADAPTATION AND CONTINUITY, ASSURE INSTITUTIONAL SUCCESS, AND SUSTAIN ROBUST LEARNING COMMUNITIES. THE CONVERSATION BETWEEN FOUNDATION OFFICERS AND COLLEGE AND UNIVERSITY PRESIDENTS PROVIDES BIANNUALLY OPPORTUNITIES IN PLENARY SESSIONS AND SMALL GROUP DISCUSSIONS FOR LEADERS OF THESE TWO TYPES OF ORGANIZATIONS TO LEARN FROM EACH OTHER; THE NEXT CONVERSATION WILL TAKE PLACE VIRTUALLY IN OCTOBER 2020.

Return Reference Explanation
FORM 990 - ORGANIZATION'S MISSION THE COUNCIL OF INDEPENDENT COLLEGES IS AN ASSOCIATION OF NONPROFIT INDEPENDENT COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES, STATE-BASED COUNCILS OF INDEPENDENT COLLEGES, AND OTHER HIGHER EDUCATION AFFILIATES, THAT WORKS TO SUPPORT COLLEGE AND UNIVERSITY LEADERSHIP, ADVANCE INSTITUTIONAL EXCELLENCE, AND ENHANCE PUBLIC UNDERSTANDING OF PRIVATE HIGHER EDUCATION'S CONTRIBUTIONS TO SOCIETY. CIC IS THE MAJOR NATIONAL ORGANIZATION THAT FOCUSES ON PROVIDING SERVICES TO LEADERS OF INDEPENDENT COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES. CIC OFFERS CONFERENCES, SEMINARS, AND OTHER PROGRAMS THAT HELP INSTITUTIONS IMPROVE EDUCATIONAL QUALITY, ADMINISTRATIVE AND FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE, STUDENT OUTCOMES, AND INSTITUTIONAL VISIBILITY.
FORM 990, PAGE 2, PART III, LINE 4A INSTITUTIONAL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS AND SERVICES NETVUE - WITH GENEROUS SUPPORT FROM LILLY ENDOWMENT INC., CIC CONTINUED TO STRENGTHEN ITS NETWORK FOR VOCATION IN UNDERGRADUATE EDUCATION (NETVUE). THE NATIONAL CAMPUS-SUPPORTED NETWORK BROADENS AND DEEPENS VOCATIONAL EXPLORATION AND DISCERNMENT AMONG UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS. NETVUE'S FOCUS ON "VOCATION- AND "CALLING" IS BROAD, GIVING ATTENTION TO THE THEOLOGICAL, PHILOSOPHICAL, ETHICAL, AND PRACTICAL ELEMENTS OF THIS LANGUAGE. LAUNCHED IN 2009, NETVUE GREW QUICKLY AND CURRENTLY HAS 266 COLLEGE AND UNIVERSITY MEMBERS AND SIX ORGANIZATIONAL MEMBERS. SEVERAL DISTINCT PROGRAMS AND EVENTS ARE PART OF THE BROADER NETVUE PROJECT: NETVUE NATIONAL CONFERENCE AND REGIONAL WORKSHOPS - CAMPUS TEAMS GATHER REGULARLY FOR PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT AND SHARING OF BEST PRACTICES. BIENNIAL NATIONAL CONFERENCES ALTERNATE WITH REGIONAL GATHERINGS HELD IN OFF YEARS. NETVUE TEACHING VOCATIONAL EXPLORATION SEMINARS - MULTIDISCIPLINARY SEMINARS ARE DESIGNED TO HELP FACULTY MEMBERS STRENGTHEN THE TEACHING OF VOCATIONAL EXPLORATION, DEVELOP NEW COURSES OR COURSE CONTENT, DEVELOP OR IMPROVE PEDAGOGICAL RESOURCES, AND ESTABLISH AN EXPANDING NETWORK OF FACULTY MEMBERS WHO ARE COMMITTED TO TEACHING VOCATIONAL EXPLORATION. NETVUE REFRAMING THE INSTITUTIONAL SAGA GRANTS - CIC WILL AWARD GRANTS FOR INSTITUTIONS TO RE-EXAMINE AND REFRAME OVER A TWO-YEAR PERIOD THE LANGUAGE IN WHICH THEY NARRATE THEIR HISTORIES. THE GOAL OF THE INITIATIVE IS TO HELP INSTITUTIONS BALANCE THEIR IDENTITY AND HERITAGE WITH OPENNESS TO DIVERSITY AND THE GOAL OF INCLUSION IN INCREASINGLY PLURALISTIC AND MULTI-FAITH CAMPUS ENVIRONMENTS. NETVUE VOCATION ACROSS THE ACADEMY GRANTS - CIC AWARDS GRANTS TO SUPPORT INSTITUTION-WIDE INITIATIVES AT NETVUE MEMBER COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES OVER A THREE-YEAR PERIOD TO EXPAND ONGOING PROGRAMMING IN THE VOCATIONAL EXPLORATION AND DISCERNMENT ACROSS THE LIBERAL ARTS AND APPLIED PROFESSIONAL FIELDS. NETVUE PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT GRANTS - CIC AWARDS GRANTS FOR USE OVER APPROXIMATELY TWO YEARS TO NETVUE MEMBER INSTITUTIONS TO HELP PARTICIPATING INSTITUTIONS DEVELOP AND EXPAND EXISTING CAMPUS PROGRAMS THAT FOCUS ON VOCATION AND CALLING AT COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES THAT ARE NETVUE MEMBERS AND MEET OTHER REQUIREMENTS. NETVUE PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT AWARDS - CIC AWARDS GRANTS FOR USE OVER A ONE-YEAR PERIOD TO ENHANCE THE KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS, AND EXPERTISE OF FACULTY AND STAFF MEMBERS WHO SUPPORT UNDERGRADUATE VOCATION-RELATED INITIATIVES AT NETVUE MEMBER INSTITUTIONS. NETVUE ORGANIZATIONAL MEMBERS SUPPORT - CIC OFFERS GRANTS TO NETVUE ORGANIZATIONAL MEMBERS TO STRENGTHEN THESE HIGHER EDUCATION ASSOCIATIONS BY SUPPORTING GATHERINGS OF THEIR MEMBERS OR OTHER PROJECTS RELEVANT TO VOCATION. NETVUE SCHOLARLY RESOURCES PROJECT - FOUR DISTINCT GROUPS OF SENIOR SCHOLARS, REPRESENTING A WIDE RANGE OF THEOLOGICAL TRADITIONS AND WITH EXPERTISE RELATED TO RESPECTIVE THEMES, WORK COLLABORATIVELY TO PRODUCE ARTICLES, BOOKS, AND OTHER RESOURCES FOR USE ON CAMPUSES THAT RESPOND TO BROAD VOCATIONAL QUESTIONS. NETVUE INITIATIVES ASSESSMENT - CIC WILL SUPPORT AN EMPIRICAL INVESTIGATION OF THE IMPACT OF INITIATIVES FOR VOCATIONAL EXPLORATION AND DISCERNMENT AT NETVUE MEMBER INSTITUTIONS. THIS WORK WILL FOCUS ON THE DIFFERENCE THAT SUCH PROGRAMS HAVE MADE FOR STUDENTS AND WILL INCLUDE ATTENTION TO THE WAYS THAT SUCH PROGRAMS CAN TRANSFORM FACULTY CULTURES, CURRICULAR INITIATIVES, ADMINISTRATIVE PRIORITIES, AND INSTITUTIONAL GOALS, AS WELL AS HOW THEY MIGHT DRAW ON OR ALIGN WITH INSTITUTIONAL HERITAGE AND MISSION. ONLINE RESOURCES - CIC PROVIDES A WIDE RANGE OF ONLINE RESOURCES FOR NETVUE MEMBERS, INCLUDING A DEDICATED WEBSITE, AN ONLINE COMMUNITY SITE, A PUBLICLY-ACCESSIBLE BLOG, A WEBINAR SERIES, INFORMAL VIRTUAL GATHERINGS OF VARIOUS CAMPUS CONSTITUENCIES, AND A SOCIAL MEDIA PRESENCE ON TWITTER. RECENT ADDITIONS HAVE FOCUSED ON HOW LEADERS CAN SUPPORT STUDENTS IN THE MIDST OF THE PUBLIC HEALTH CRISIS AND THE WIDENING FOCUS ON ISSUES OF RACIAL JUSTICE. LEGACIES OF AMERICAN SLAVERY: RECKONING WITH THE PAST - WITH SUPPORT FROM THE ANDREW W. MELLON FOUNDATION, CIC IS DEVELOPING A NATIONAL NETWORK OF INDEPENDENT COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES TO DEEPEN PUBLIC UNDERSTANDING OF THE MANY LEGACIES OF SLAVERY AND THEIR IMPACT ON AMERICAN LIFE AND CULTURE. IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE GILDER LEHRMAN CENTER FOR THE STUDY OF SLAVERY, RESISTANCE, AND ABOLITION AT YALE UNIVERSITY (GLC), CIC WILL SELECT FROM FORTY-FOUR APPLICATIONS SIX INSTITUTIONS IN DIFFERENT REGIONS OF THE UNITED STATES TO SERVE AS REGIONAL COLLABORATION PARTNERS. EACH "HUB" INSTITUTION WILL FOCUS ON A SINGLE THEME RELATED TO A LEGACY OF SLAVERY THAT IS ESPECIALLY RELEVANT TO ITS REGION. OVER FOUR YEARS, THESE SIX INSTITUTIONS WILL COLLABORATE WITH OTHER CIC MEMBER INSTITUTIONS, LOCAL AND NATIONAL CIVIC ORGANIZATIONS, AND K-12 SCHOOLS TO ADDRESS AMERICAN SLAVERY'S CONTINUING INFLUENCE THROUGH RESEARCH ACTIVITIES, UNDERGRADUATE COURSES, CURRICULAR DEVELOPMENT, AND PUBLIC EVENTS. DIVERSITY, CIVILITY, AND THE LIBERAL ARTS - WITH A GRANT FROM THE ANDREW W. MELLON FOUNDATION, CIC OFFERED INSTITUTES IN 2018 AND 2019 FOR FACULTY AND ADMINISTRATORS AT INDEPENDENT COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES TO DEEPEN UNDERSTANDING OF CURRENT SCHOLARSHIP THAT CAN INFORM CAMPUS DISCUSSIONS AROUND SUCH ISSUES AS IDENTITY, RACISM, INTOLERANCE, HISTORIES OF DISCRIMINATION AND INEQUALITY, AND EFFECTIVE METHODS FOR ACHIEVING SOCIAL AND POLITICAL CHANGE. CIC STAFF AND THE EXTERNAL EVALUATORS ARE PREPARING A REPORT ON LESSONS LEARNED TO BE SHARED WITH ALL CIC MEMBERS IN LATE 2020. HUMANITIES RESEARCH FOR THE PUBLIC GOOD - WITH A GRANT FROM THE ANDREW W. MELLON FOUNDATION, CIC IS DEVELOPING OVER THREE YEARS THE CAPACITY OF PARTICIPATING INSTITUTIONS TO MAKE GREATER PUBLIC USE OF MATERIALS IN THEIR SPECIAL ARCHIVAL AND LIBRARY COLLECTIONS. IN TWO COHORTS SELECTED INSTITUTIONS ARE ENGAGING STUDENTS IN RESEARCH PROJECTS THAT USE THE COLLEGES' SPECIAL LIBRARY COLLECTIONS, ARCHIVES, OR MUSEUM RESOURCES TO ADDRESS AN ISSUE OF IMPORTANCE TO THEIR RESPECTIVE COMMUNITIES OR REGIONS IN WHICH THE INSTITUTIONS ARE LOCATED. CIC ORGANIZED AN ADDITIONAL VIRTUAL WORKSHOP FOR CAMPUS PROJECT LEADERS AND THEIR STUDENT RESEARCHERS PARTICIPATING IN THE FIRST COHORT. TALKING ABOUT PRIVATE COLLEGES WORKSHOPS - CIC OFFERED THE FIRST THREE IN A SERIES OF SEVEN REGIONAL WORKSHOPS DESIGNED TO SHARE KEY DATA ABOUT THE IMPACT AND VALUE OF INDEPENDENT COLLEGES AND GIVE PARTICIPANTS PRACTICE IN SHAPING COMMUNITY ATTITUDES ABOUT PRIVATE HIGHER EDUCATION THROUGH INFORMAL CONVERSATIONS. THE INNOVATIVE PERSON-TO-PERSON APPROACH TO MAKING THE CASE FOR INDEPENDENT HIGHER EDUCATION COMBINES INFORMATION FROM MULTIPLE NATIONAL DATA SOURCES WITH ACTIVE LEARNING, STORY-TELLING STRATEGIES, AND ADVICE ABOUT INSTITUTION-SPECIFIC FOLLOW-UP ACTIVITIES. RE-DEFINING THE ROLE OF THE ACADEMIC LIBRARY IN SUPPORT OF THE INSTITUTIONAL MISSION - WITH A PLANNING GRANT FROM THE GLADYS KRIEBLE DELMAS FOUNDATION, CIC IS DETERMINING PRECISELY HOW IT CAN BEST ASSIST MEMBER COLLEGES AS THEY RECONSIDER THE ROLE OF THE ACADEMIC LIBRARY IN THE INCREASINGLY DIGITAL ENVIRONMENT. BASED ON SURVEY RESPONSES AND INTERVIEWS OF 102 MEMBER CHIEF ACADEMIC OFFICERS TO GAUGE HOW INDEPENDENT COLLEGES ARE NOW THINKING ABOUT THEIR LIBRARIES, CIC DEVELOPED A CONCEPT FOR A PROGRAM TO HELP MEMBER COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES REIMAGINE THESE CENTRAL LEARNING SPACES ON CAMPUS AND PREPARED A GRANT PROPOSAL FOR A LIBRARY-BASED PROJECT TO DESIGN, CURATE, AND IMPLEMENT OPEN EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES FOR CIC MEMBER INSTITUTIONS. INTERGENERATIONAL CONNECTIONS: STUDENTS SERVING OLDER ADULTS - IN COORDINATION WITH AND SUPPORTED BY A GRANT FROM THE AARP FOUNDATION, THE PROJECT DEVELOPED A NATIONAL NETWORK OF STUDENT PROGRAMS ON INDEPENDENT COLLEGE CAMPUSES THAT RECOGNIZE THE MUTUAL BENEFITS OF INTERGENERATIONAL INTERACTION WITH OLDER MEMBERS OF THE INSTITUTIONS' COMMUNITIES. GRANTS SUPPORT STRENGTHENING OR DEVELOPING NEW PROGRAMS ON CAMPUSES FOCUSED PRIMARILY ON SERVING THE BASIC NEEDS - HUNGER, HOUSING, INCOME, AND ISOLATION - OF ADULTS IN THEIR COMMUNITIES. A CONCLUDING CONFERENCE FOCUSED ON SHARING BEST PRACTICES FOR STUDENT ENGAGEMENT AND INTERGENERATIONAL CONNECTIONS AS WELL AS DISCUSSIONS ABOUT PROJECT SUSTAINABILITY, AND CIC RELEASED A WEB-BASED REPORT THAT HIGHLIGHTS BEST PRACTICES AND LESSONS LEARNED THROUGHOUT THE TWO-AND-A-HALF YEAR PROJECT.

THE INSTITUTE FOCUSED ON HELPING INDEPENDENT COLLEGE AND UNIVERSITY PRESIDENTS IDENTIFY STRATEGIES TO LEAD THEIR INSTITUTIONS - AND THEIR FACULTIES AND BOARDS - WITH VISION AND COURAGE TO ORGANIZATIONAL STRENGTH AND HEALTH IN THE FACE OF NEW CHALLENGES SUCH AS SHIFTING DEMOGRAPHICS, ERODING PUBLIC SUPPORT, AND THINNER OPERATING MARGINS. THE 2019 INSTITUTE FOR CHIEF ACADEMIC OFFICERS THEME "CHANGE: CONTINUITY, COMMUNICATION, AND CONNECTION" PROVIDED A FRAMEWORK FOR DISCUSSION AMONG CAOS AND PUBLIC RELATIONS DIRECTORS OF WAYS TO BLEND ADAPTATION AND CONTINUITY, ASSURE INSTITUTIONAL SUCCESS, AND SUSTAIN ROBUST LEARNING COMMUNITIES. THE CONVERSATION BETWEEN FOUNDATION OFFICERS AND COLLEGE AND UNIVERSITY PRESIDENTS PROVIDES BIANNUALLY OPPORTUNITIES IN PLENARY SESSIONS AND SMALL GROUP DISCUSSIONS FOR LEADERS OF THESE TWO TYPES OF ORGANIZATIONS TO LEARN FROM EACH OTHER; THE NEXT CONVERSATION WILL TAKE PLACE VIRTUALLY IN OCTOBER 2020.
