Institute for Advancing Community Engagement
Vision
IACE seeks to be recognised nationally and internationally for its distinctive leadership in promoting University-community engagement designed to achieve a better tomorrow in the communities with whom the University engages.
Mission
IACE fosters joint University-community initiatives which serve the common good and contribute to the development of:
- intellectually, socially and morally engaged communities,
- socially responsible citizens, professionals and leaders, and
- value-based public policy and programs derived from the unique scholarship and learnings that arise from the university-community nexus.
The mission of the Australian Catholic University (ACU) requires the university "to make a specific contribution to its local, national and international communities". Within this context, ACU sees community engagement as:
- enhancing the dignity and wellbeing of people and communities;
- being based upon trusting relationships and genuine partnerships with community institutions and corporations for mutual benefit;
- a key vehicle for the University's research and teaching and learning; and
- a central means for the University to honour its commitment to serving the common goods
The Institute for Advancing Community Engagement (IACE) has been established by ACU to advance the development of mutually beneficial and sustainable University-community partnerships which enhance the dignity and well-being of people and communities.
