- Title

- Abstract
- Universities have a long tradition of engaging with industry in order to develop both research opportunities and enriched learning experiences for students. Increasingly both universities and government understand the importance of engagement with the wider community but often engagement is peripheral to mainstream university activity. The key to wider university community engagement is focus on building graduate attributes in our students. This paper shares the journey of an outer urban campus in setting out to listen to students, business and the community in order to come to terms with what effective engagement means and begin the journey towards making this engagement core business.
