This book explores how we approached the issue of community development in the context of competing interests and a differential power imbalance. We used a processbased model for supporting community transformation, a phenomenon in which universitycommunity partnership is but one example. The people who most will want to read and use Beyond the Campus are faculty (e.g., executive coaches and consultants), staff, and actionfocused researchers seeking to learn how to enhance their relationships with community leaders (e.g., principals, executive/program directors, teachers and parents) in urban educational settings.
