Introduction to Bonner High-Impact Initiative Learning OutcomesBonner Foundation
Introduction to Bonner High-Impact Initiative Learning Outcomes, used at the High-Impact Institute Summer 2013; introduces key learning outcomes, as adapted from rubrics for civic engagement, integrative learning, and creative thinking, that may provide a set of shared student learning outcomes for high-impact projects connected to community engagement.
Presentation at the American Democracy Project Conference hosted by the American Association of State Colleges and Universities, June 2012. Longer presentation explores high-impact practices and high-impact community engagement in more depth.
Developing Greater Impact with High-Impact Practices: Internships and Civic E...Bonner Foundation
These are slides from the presentation given by Jillian Kinzie (Indiana University), Gregory Weight (Washington Internship Institute), and Ariane Hoy (Bonner Foundation) at the January 2015 Association of America Colleges and Universities annual meeting.

Introduction to Bonner High-Impact Initiative Capacity Building OutcomesBonner Foundation
Introduction to Bonner High-Impact Initiative Capacity Building Outcomes, used at the High-Impact Institute Summer 2013; introduces key community-oriented outcomes, as adapted from metrics for non-profit and community capacity building, in areas like program development, research, evaluation, communications and outreach, resource development, and community impact.
High-Impact Projects at a Glance: Displays from the 2014 InstituteBonner Foundation
During the summer High-Impact Institutes, teams spend about half of the time working collaboratively to create their strategies and plans for making civic engagement and community engaged learning deeper, more pervasive, and more integrated. This includes identifying new or existing high-impact educational practices (like First Year Experience or Internships) to connect with community engagement. It also includes finding ways to create, deepen and enhance community partnerships so that they integrate high-impact community engagement practices (like Place, Voice, Reciprocity, Sequence, Teams, and Inquiry).
Towards the end of the Institute, teams present their plans for feedback from other teams (peers) and coaches, reinforcing the learning community. In 2014, teams from Cohorts 1 and 2 presented their plans visually, on display boards, and networked with others to explain them in a charette session. Teams from Cohort 3, which began in 2014, then presented the next day verbally (not pictured).
These slides and photos capture some of the teams' plans and displays.

Part of the online orientation event for Bonner Program new staff and prospective institutional partners. This session explains the Bonner Cornerstones and Capstones, which are pivotal, high-impact learning activities in the four years.

Strategic Planning for Community Engagement with Maryville CollegeBonner Foundation
The Bonner Foundation is pleased to support Maryville College in its strategic visioning and planning for community engaged learning at Maryville College (TN). Ariane Hoy and Liz Brandt are working with the Center for Community Engagement.
On February 25, 2022, representatives from seven colleges and universities in the Bonner Network met for the launch of the Bonner Pathways Project. These institutions share an aspiration to make civic learning and democratic engagement embedded in their institutional fabrics, such that 25% of graduates will have deep, multiyear experiences culminating in community-engaged capstone level work. These experiences have a proven link with student retention, success, learning, well-being, and post-graduate outcomes. This Community of Practice will work over the next several years to reach its goal, developing models for higher education. This project is led by the Bonner Foundation team, including Bobby Hackett, Ariane Hoy, Rachayita Shah, Liz Brandt, Arthur Tartee, and Kristi Cordier.

Funding nonprofit talent is a vital but often overlooked piece of the grantmaking puzzle. This webinar offered an in-depth examination of talent-focused grantmaking and nonprofit leadership development. It was led by the President and CEO of the Talent Philanthropy Project (and EPIP’s Founder and former Executive Director), Rusty Stahl as well as Stephanie Andrews ( Leadership Development Director at the Bush Foundation) and Tom Fuechtmann (Program Officer at the Community Memorial Foundation) - two funders with extensive experience in this work. Rusty, Stephanie and Tom discussed how factors are necessitating this shift; how these practices are being implemented on the ground; and how to explore talent-focused grantmaking in one’s own work.
This presentation was given by Phil Sisson, Max Hallsett, Karen James, and Peter Shea at the AAC&U Diversity, Learning, and Student Success conference in San Diego on March 27th, 2015.

Leveraging Data to Make the Case for Bonner Like Programs.pdfBonner Foundation
This workshop is well-suited for folks who care deeply about institutionalizing community engagement and expanding access to high-impact practices. Come ready to learn about how the Stetson Bonner Program learned from a 2023 Institutional Research & Effectiveness study that the most successful retention and graduation program at Stetson is our Bonner Program – more than any academic program, co-curricular program, athletic program, Greek program, or other explicit retention initiatives. You’ll hear about how we leveraged this information to create more Bonner-like programs. You’ll leave with an understanding of how to analyze your campus' data on first-time-in-college (FTIC) student retention, and how that data can help you advocate for expanding community engagement initiatives as an effective driver of retention.
This session aims promote learning and exchange of ideas on
how we can help students all across campus pursue careers
with purpose and meaning, especially ones that make the world
a better place. The session will engage students in a dialogue
about career goals, academic study, service experience, career
support, and group discussions based on career interests.
This opening session sets the stage for a dynamic and informative
conference focused on driving positive social change. We'll be
inspired and rooted in a sense of place by President Floyd and our
student speakers then dive into two frameworks focused on
equipping individuals to be change agents in their communities.
Participants can expect to gain valuable insights, engage in
thought-provoking discussions and be inspired by the stories of
those who work towards moving the metaphorical mountains of
social inequality, injustice, and systemic challenges.
This is What Democracy Looks Like Powerbuilding -- Cali VanCleveBonner Foundation
Community organizing has always played a prominent role in the nonprofit world. But what about long-term, sustainable activism work? Power building is a newer sect of community organizing in which people can organize around a certain issue creating power within targeted communities. The Tennessee Immigrant and Refugee Rights Coalition (TIRRC) and its 501(c)(4) TIRRC Votes has created a movement across the state, and they build power within our immigrant and refugee communities through voter engagement and services such as legal aid, educational resources, etc. It is vital to recognize the diverse forms in which we can organize around election cycles beyond simply registering people to vote. If you're interested in either immigrant and refugee rights, voter engagement, or unconventional means of organizing, this would be the place for you!
Are you aspiring to build an exciting career on the global stage? Do you dream of working across borders, cultures, and continents?
