Civic Engagement at Research I Institutions*
*re: 1994 Carnegie Classification
This program helps member Research I institutions implement civic engagement and service-learning programs to meet the needs of their local communities. During the 2005-06 year we:
- Collaborated on a project with Stanford University and other member campuses to explore how graduate and professional education prepares future academics and professionals for effective civic engagement through study, research, and service.
This project convened a networking colloquium in San Francisco, a networking colloquium in Los Angeles and a symposium at Stanford University, culminating in a set of papers that offer theoretical and philosophical encouragement for civic engagement within and across professional disciplines and doctoral programs, an inventory of existing programmatic expressions within and among departments/schools, and descriptions of potential new models. - Provided subgrants to member institutions to develop model program
During 2006-07 we convened two regional networking colloquia. A Powerpoint Presentation by Dr. Timothy K. Stanton is available for viewing.
