Civic and Community Engagement and Research Universities
This program seeks to assist Research Universities in California to implement civic and service-learning programs and community-engaged research to meet the needs of their local communities. It places special emphasis on engaged teaching and research for and by graduate students. Since 2005 CACC has:
- Sponsored annual regional colloquia in Northern and Southern California focused on civic engagement and graduate studies at research universities. Information on and material from these colloquia is available.
- Sponsored a major Symposium at Stanford University, which produced a position paper offering 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 new potential models.
2007-2008 Regional ColloquiaSouthern California Regional Colloquium: The University and Multi-Ethnic Civic EngagementThursday, February 07, 2008. This one-day symposium will examine how multi-ethnic civic engagement practice and scholarship has bridged the historical gulf between universities and diverse communities. Specific attention will be given to successful institutional programs, policies, and models for making multi-ethnic civic engagement an integral part of undergraduate and graduate education, faculty development, and town-gown relations.

THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, Davis is hosting a one-day colloquium to examine challenges and opportunities in transforming university civic engagement into engaged scholarship. How can engagement practices also become scholarship? Specific attention will be given to research models, community partnerships, and institutional programs and policies that either do or could promote the bridging of university civic engagement practice and engaged scholarship research. The program includes a break out session and poster sessions. |
