The Collective Impact Series at Columbia College Chicago brings students, alumni, faculty, staff, and Chicago community members together with nationally renowned artists and community leaders to discuss the application of community engagement and social justice in creative practice.

Established by the School of Fine and Performing Arts in 2018, this series encourages cross-campus collaborations and knowledge sharing, leading to collective impact. The Civic Media MA program and the Office of the Provost joined Collective Impact to elevate this initiative in 2020. Crucial to the success of this initiative is the ever-developing Backbone Team that has grown from the many areas of the college.

A guiding question for the initiative is: How can we come together through arts and media to create and sustain a positive collective impact in our communities?

Recorded events are uploaded to https://vimeo.com/cccengage so you can easily access past discussions and workshops.
