Abstract

Indiana University–Purdue University Indianapolis worked with
the residents and leadership of three neighborhoods adjacent
to the campus to reopen the closed George Washington High
School. The resulting partnership has strengthened the civic
engagement mission of the university, and contributed to an
award-winning community-based school. The partnership most
recently was recognized with a 2010 Outreach Scholarship/W. K.
Kellogg Foundation Engagement Award for the North Central
Region.
