Comparisons and conclusions
N2  - In most cities in the United States and Canada, the local college or university is the largest employer. The role of the university and its relationship to the community has been a highly debated topic among educators, administrators, and local business leaders. David Maurasse, through an in-depth study of four schools, University of Pennsylvania; San Francisco State University; Xavier University and Hostos Community College in New York, offers a passionate appeal for community partnerships. Beyond the Campus goes further than a simple explanation of the problems at hand, it offers a roadmap for both the university as well as the local business to work together for the good of their community. Through his lively prose, Maurasse shows success stories of schools and communities that are forming positive partnerships in the community
