Appleseed, a New York City-based economic development consulting firm, created the College & University Impact Portal as a source of information about the role of colleges and universities in regional economies. The Portal provides:
1) Links to economic impact studies conducted for colleges and universities.
2) A database of reports, articles and papers on the role of higher education in economic development.
3) Information about how an economic impact study can help communicate the ways your college or university adds value to its community, region and state.
