THE COALITION FOR THE COMMON GOOD IS DEDICATED TO PROMOTING DEMOCRACY, SOCIAL JUSTICE, EQUITY, INCLUSION, AND ENGAGED GLOBAL CITIZENSHIP. UNBOUND BY GEOGRAPHY, THE CCG WILL USE THE COMBINED RESOURCES OF THE MEMBER INSTITUTIONS TO DEVELOP AND DELIVER TARGETED EDUCATIONAL AND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS THAT MEET THE UNIQUE REQUIREMENTS OF OUR COMMUNITIES THROUGH ACADEMIC PARTNERSHIPS WITH LOCAL BUSINESSES AND EMPLOYERS. THROUGH THE COALITION FOR THE COMMON GOOD, THE UNIVERSITIES HAVE MOVED FROM BEING COMPETITORS TO COLLABORATORS FOR THE BETTERMENT OF STUDENTS AND COMMUNITIES. BUILT ON THE FACULTY EXPERTISE OF BOTH INSTITUTIONS, THE CCG COMBINES MEMBERS' GRADUATE PROGRAMS TO FORM A GRADUATE DIVISION WITH A NATIONAL SCOPE, OPERATED BY ANTIOCH UNIVERSITY. THE COALITION FOR THE COMMON GOOD WILL ALSO COLLABORATE ON BUILDING OR ACQUIRING NEW PROGRAMS THAT WILL BENEFIT STUDENTS. THE COALITION FOR THE COMMON GOOD WILL EXPAND TO INCLUDE OTHER COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES THAT SHARE THE COALITION MEMBERS' LONG-STANDING COMMITMENTS TO PRESERVING DEMOCRACY, FURTHERING SOCIAL, RACIAL, ECONOMIC, AND ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE, AND PROVIDING ACCESS TO THOSE SEEKING TO ADVANCE THEIR LIVES AND COMMUNITIES THROUGH EDUCATION.DURING THE PAST YEAR, THE COALITION BEGAN RECRUITMENT EFFORTS IN COLUMBUS AND CENTRAL OHIO TO GROW ENROLLMENTS IN ANTIOCH'S MA IN CLINICAL MENTAL HEALTH COUNSELING AND DOCTOR OF EDUCATION (EDD) AND ALSO FORMED LOCAL PARTNERSHIPS WITH HEALTH CARE, K-12, NONPROFIT, AND OTHER ORGANIZATIONS TO PROVIDE ADULT EDUCATION AND WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES FOR EMPLOYEES.NEW PROGRAMS AND INITIATIVESNEW MASTER'S PROGRAM IN SCHOOL COUNSELINGANTIOCH LAUNCHED A NEW LOW-RESIDENCY DEGREE PROGRAM: AN MA IN SCHOOL COUNSELING.

IT'S COMPRISED OF SEVERAL RAISED BEDS, FLOWERS PLANTED AROUND THE PERIMETER, AND A FEW PICNIC TABLES UNDER SOME TREES. THOUGH THE GARDEN IS IN MANY WAYS MODEST, OVER THE LAST 14 YEARS, IT HAS PROVIDED A SPACE FOR DOZENS OF ANTIOCHIANS TO GROW AS GARDENERS, COMMUNITY ACTIVISTS, AND ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDS. AND DESPITE THIS LONG TENURE, THE UNDERLYING PROJECT CONTINUES TO EVOLVE, GROW, AND EXPAND TO MEET THE NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITY ON CAMPUS AND IN THE WIDER KEENE COMMUNITY.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesJul 1, 2023 – Jun 30, 2024Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$70.6M
