College/University - Phoenix, AZ, US
In the School of Community Resources and Development we are all about community. Within our School we define community as groups sharing interests, locale, challenges and/or desires. It includes place-based as well as identity-based communities. We view the concept of community as the common denominator for our activities. We endeavor to serve as a catalyst for bringing different disciplines together by advocating a multi-disciplinary systems approach to the study of community. Taking this holistic approach is necessary if we are to truly impact and enhance community quality of life for residents and visitors.
