IUPUI community engagement map

We developed an online Community Engagement  Map leveraging SAVI, in partnership with  the IU Indianapolis Office of Community Engagement (OCE).  We linked data from SAVI and IU Indianapolis Collaboratory (a database of in-depth information entered by students, faculty and staff about ways they are engaged with the community.) to continually update an online searchable map that depicts the location of select IU Indianapolis engagement activities in the surrounding communities as well as socioeconomic conditions, demographics and community assets. The map and narrated data stories engage stakeholders for more strategic multi-disciplinary collaboration to address pressing community issues with the goal of improving quality of life for central Indiana residents.
