Evaluating Public Engagement at Memorial

 

Understanding the impact of public engagement at Memorial is a crucial element of the Office of Public Engagement (OPE)'s role.

As stewards of the Public Engagement Framework, OPE undertakes regular monitoring and evaluation processes. These activities help us develop programming and opportunities that respond to the actual public engagement needs of Memorial, including students, faculty, staff, alumni, and public partners.  

Evaluation of the Public Engagement Framework (2012-2020)

The OPE has completed a comprehensive review of the impacts of the Public Engagement Framework, at Memorial and within Newfoundland and Labrador, since it was adopted in 2012. The Expert Working Group on Public Engagement and the Public Engagement Framework Evaluation Committee have both participated in the planning and execution of the evaluation, and include student, faculty, staff, and public partner representation.

OPE has developed several different elements to share the findings of the evaluation:

Along with assessing the current state of public engagement at Memorial and providing accountability, the findings will be reflected in the development of Memorial's future public engagement strategies and programming. Planning for the next phase of Memorial's public engagement strategy is now underway.
