"A NEW CARNEGIE CLASSIFICATION ARRIVES" |
|
|
The Carnegie Foundation’s elective classification for Community Engagement affirms that a university or college has institutionalized Community Engagement in its identity, culture, and commitments. It also affirms that the practices of community engagement are aligned with institution’s identity and form an integral component of the institutional culture. Those practices may be focused in curricular engagement, outreach and partnerships, or both. |

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT describes the collaboration between institutions of higher education and their larger communities for the mutually beneficial exchange of knowledge and resources in a context of partnership and reciprocity.
CURRICULAR ENGAGEMENT describes the teaching, learning and scholarship that engages faculty, students, and community in mutually beneficial and respectful collaboration. Their interactions address community identified needs, deepen students’ civic and academic learning, enhance community well-being, and enrich the scholarship of the institution. 
Institutions will not be able to just state that they are committed to community engagement, but will have to provide concrete evidence. Among other things, they will need to describe teaching, learning and scholarship that both benefit the college and the local community. They will also need to provide examples and data on the depth of participation in various outreach efforts. SOURCE: "Inside Higher Ed, News", April 4, 2006 |
