Imagining America: Artists and Scholars in Public Life

Imagining America is a consortium of colleges and universities committed to public scholarship and practice in the arts, humanities, and design. Imagining America articulates how campus-community partnerships contribute to local and national civic life while furthering recognition of the value of public scholarship and practice in higher education itself. 

Current projects include Tenure Team Initiative on Public Scholarship (TTI), Assessing the Practices of Public Scholarship (APPS), and Publicly Active Graduate Education (PAGE).

Creative Campus Initiative
Creative Campus Initiative is a collaborative system connecting students, faculty, and community to nurture innovative thinkers who turn ideas into action. For one of its projects during the 2007-08 academic year, Creative Campus partnered with the Culverhouse College of Commerce & Business Administration to offer a Letter of Recognition in the Cultural Arts (LORCA). This pilot program was intended to broaden business graduate students' awareness and exposure to the cultural arts and the importance of the role they play in economic development and in personal enrichment.
