2. About our members
More than 45 two-year, four-year, public and private institutions in Ohio are members of
Ohio Campus Compact. Our members share a common commitment to address the needs
of surrounding communities and to integrate public service as a central part of
undergraduate education. Together, we work to:
integrate the ethic of service across the institution by facilitating, supporting and
rewarding participation
encourage faculty efforts to connect service and academic study; and
foster an environment that stimulates students to move beyond service and engage
in long-term problem resolution through applying skills learned in the classroom.
