A summary of the <br />projects evaluated during the academic year is found below. Project reports are available upon <br />requests. Many of the recommendations from the RCP partnership are integrated into this <br />document's goals and implementation strategies. <br />What is the Resilient Communities Project? <br />The Resilient Communities Project (RCP) is a cross disciplinary program at the <br />University of Minnesota whose mission is to connect communities in Minnesota <br />with University faculty and students Lo advance local sustain -ability and resilience <br />through collaborative, course -based projects. Ultimately, RCP strives to <br />• build local capacity to address cctmrnuni-y ustainability and resilience issues <br />• train 4tudents tq be future sUstainability practitioners in their fields <br />• produce case studies, tool kits, and other resources that advance <br />sesiainabilily and resilience practice at the community scale <br />How does RCP work? <br />Each academic year, RCP selects a partner community (typically a city, cq Untw. <br />or tribal government) through a competitive process. RCP collaborates with the <br />selected community to identify between S and 30 projects— based on community <br />identified environmental, social, and economic issues and needs —that will advance <br />local suslainabililyand resilience. Then, RCP serves as a rnaLchmaker, strategically <br />connecting the community's projects with existing U of MN courses that can provide <br />appropriate research or technical assistance. <br />Staff and stakeholders from our partner communities work closely with faculty and <br />students to provide local knowledge and deeper insight into the issues, ensuring <br />the work students undertake is relevant to the commtmity context. Outcomes <br />from each University course are docurn, n.ed in a final report and presentation at <br />the conclusion of the semester. Project results are shared with the community, and <br />disseminated through RCP's website for use by other communities. <br />What are the benefits to students of collaborating with RCP? <br />• Efficie, access to high -quality and well -organ,. community projects <br />• Experience applying; your knowledge and skills to caul -world issues <br />• Opportunities to build you" resume or portfolio for `ukure job interviews <br />• Potential to meanin,fully advance local sustainahility and resilience <br />• Local and regional visibility and recognition for your work <br />• Opportunities to network with local government and industn profesoignals <br />City of RAMSEY <br />For more infgrrnption. <br />mike Greet <br />27irertar <br />mgreco@umn,edu <br />612.625.7.1 <br />Dan Herrero <br />Pro, ram Jl.ssacia to <br />dherreragiumn,edu <br />.2.625.93H.7 <br />ResiUent Communities Project <br />University of Minnesota <br />330 HHFISK <br />301 19th Avc.
