New Times Demand New Scholarship II: Research Universities and Civic Engagement—Opportunities and Challenges

http://www.compact.org/wp-content/uploads/initiatives/research_universities/Civic_Engagement.pdf

This report focuses on opportunities and challenges in four areas critical to expanding and institutionalizing civic engagement within research universities: engaged scholarship (i.e., scholarship aimed at critical societal issues); scholarship focused on civic and communtiy engagement; educating students for engagement; and advancing civic engagement within and across research universities.

Much of my work in service-learning and community engagement has come as a result of the many excellent resources and materials generated by Campus Compact. When I first became the Founding Director of CSUSB's CUP [Community-University Partnership Institute], I relied almost exclusively on the resources of Campus Compact in designing, planning, and implementing our actions."
