Welcome to the
Illinois Campus Compact
Website
"Celebrating 15 Years"
|
Campus Compact is a rapidly growing organization
with a membership of more than 950 colleges and universities, representing
more than a quarter of all higher education institutions. Membership has
grown by an average of 70 campuses per year over the past five years,
a trend that reflects both an increased commitment to the civic purposes
of higher education and greater awareness of the value of our work.
Our membership profile reflects the full range
of diversity among colleges and universities, including public and private,
two-year and four-year, rural and urban, and those classifying themselves
as faith-based, women’s, tribal, Hispanic-serving, and historically
black colleges and universities, among others.
