Item Being Neighborly: How One Museum Looks Beyond its Walls to Build Community(2020-06) Butler, Brenda FIt is common for museums to be geographically located in urban neighborhoods with neighbors who do not visit. Museums make efforts to engage with their communities through programming to establish relationships with neighbors; this study highlights one museum, The American Swedish Institute (ASI), located in Minneapolis, Minnesota. This case study seeks to discover whether ASI is building cross-cultural relationships in their neighborhood; and finding what impacts are made on the neighborhood. This study may be useful to arts or cultural organizations seeking to build on their relevance to their neighbor communities and wanting to better engage with neighbors.Item Beyond Butts in Seats: Creating campus and community partnerships through meaningful outreach(2015) Farrell, Shannon L.; Mastel, KristenIn order to stay relevant and meet the needs of our existing and potential users, libraries are forming partnerships and engaging users in numerous ways outside of the classroom. How do we measure the impact of our outreach programming? High attendance numbers may show that we had excellent swag and food at an event, but is counting heads a meaningful assessment measure? This poster will share examples of various kinds of outreach, discuss opportunities for forging partnerships, consider the impact of different outreach activities, and examine new assessment strategies to move beyond simple head counts.Item Collaboration: A Youth Development Initiative of the Faribault Youth Service Center.(2003) Gangani, NoordeenItem Collaborative Partnerships for Childhood Obesity Prevention: Trends and Correlates Nationally and a Case Study in Minnesota(2016-04) Pelletier, JenniferObesity affects nearly one in five children in the United States and costs billions of dollars to manage and treat. National advisors and funding agencies are increasingly encouraging multiple sectors of society to work together on childhood obesity prevention, yet the extent to which states are adopting and succeeding with this approach is unknown. In this dissertation, I address this gap in the literature using national surveillance data and a mixed methods case study in Minnesota. In study 1, I examined secular trends and state-level political, social, and economic conditions associated with collaboration on school nutrition and physical education (PE) activities nationally. Collaboration increased between 2000 and 2006 and decreased or stabilized between 2006 and 2012. The number of organizational collaborators in 2012 was higher in states with higher childhood obesity prevalence, higher poverty, higher public health funding, and a state-level PE coordinator. In study 2, I examined the prevalence of evidence-based state policies on competitive foods and PE between 2006 and 2012. Findings from generalized linear models indicate that strong state policies were unrelated to measures of collaboration and significantly positively associated with childhood obesity and state-level measures of socioeconomic disadvantage in 2012. In study 3, I used mixed methods to develop a theoretically informed process to identify and describe the roles of key stakeholders in a Safe Routes to School (SRTS) partnership in Minnesota. The Minnesota partnership was successful in implementing SRTS programs in nearly 200 communities and advocating for policy change to expand and institutionalize SRTS in the state. Findings indicate that contributors to success of sophisticated partnerships may differ across multiple geographic levels and core partnership functions. Overall, the findings from this dissertation suggest that collaborative partnerships are common and under some circumstances, such as SRTS in Minnesota, may contribute to adoption and/or implementation of policies to prevent childhood obesity.Item Food and Farming: Potential for Partnership.(2002) Slaughter, KaraItem Neighborhood Planning for Community Revitalization: Building Community-University Partnerships.(Minneapolis: Neighborhood Planning for Community Revitalization, Center for Urban and Regional Affairs, University of Minnesota., 2005) NPCRItem Opportunities and Constraints for System Change: A Historical Perspective on the Community Employment Partnership.(Minneapolis: The Regents of the University of Minnesota., 2003) Stone, Melissa M.Item UNN: University Neighborhood Network.
