Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Significant movement is afoot in higher education around a reinvigoration of civic engagement as well as efforts to reform the 'ivory tower' from societal isolation and irrelevance. This movement is based on the assumption that land grant institutions should play a key role in sustaining our democracy and collaborating to solve complex societal problems. Against this backdrop, in February 1999, the Kellogg Commission on the Future of State and Land-Grant Universities issued the third of its reports, Returning to Our Roots: The Engaged Institution (NASULGC, 1999), calling for greater institutional engagement with society. Specifically the Commission concluded that it is time to go beyond outreach and service to "engagement." By engagement, the commission refers to "institutions that have redesigned their teaching, research, and extension functions to become even more sympathetically and productively involved with their communities" (NASULGC 1999b, p vii). In light of the Kellogg Commission report, the purpose of this research project was to assess the organizational structure in order to address leadership issues needed to facilitate the engagement agenda.

This book was released on 2017-03-10 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book, offered by “practitioner-scholars,” is an exploration and identification of the knowledge, skills, and dispositions that are central to supporting effective community engagement practices between higher education and communities. The discussion and review of these core competencies are framed within a broader context of the changing landscape of institutional community engagement and the emergence of the Community Engagement Professional as a facilitator of engaged teaching, research, and institutional partnerships distinct from other academic professionals. This research, conducted as part of Campus Compact’s Project on the Community Engagement Professional, seeks to identify the shared knowledge and practices of Community Engagement Professionals by looking to empirical practice literature. Chapters include an exploration of competencies applicable to those in Community Engagement Professional roles generally, and also to those specializing in specific areas such as faculty development, partnership facilitation, and other areas of responsibility. The authors trace the evolution of engagement administration over time and the role of those facilitating community-campus engagement toward a “Second Generation” professional who is at once a “tempered radical, transformational leader, and social entrepreneur.” Central to the work is a presentation of the core competency findings, along with suggestions for continued exploration. Dostilio and her colleagues argue that Community Engagement Professionals should claim a professional identity grounded in a set of core competencies, values, and knowledge, and through association with a community of scholar practitioners similarly dedicated. Additional work to understand and empower Community Engagement Professionals in their role as distinct from other higher education professional types will enable both broader impact for institutions and communities now with a view to prepare those coming to the role for a dynamic and demanding environment without distinct boundaries.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this research study was to explore the depth to which colleges and universities in the state of Georgia have institutionalized community engagement into their campus infrastructures. Community engagement was operationalized using the Furco, Weerts, Burton, and Kent (2009) model for institutionalizing community engagement in which there are five dimensions of engagement: Mission and Philosophy, Faculty Support and Involvement, Student Support and Involvement, Community Participation and Partnership, and Institutional Support. A survey design was used to collect data on trends in institutionalized community engagement at sample institutions (N = 48). A factor analysis statistical procedure indicated patterns of engagement in Georgia’s higher education institutions that generally mirrored the Furco et al. (2009) model of the five dimensions of community engagement. Results of a multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) test indicated no difference in the dimensions of community engagement based on institutional type (2-year/4-year) or control (public/private). However, ordinary least squares (OLS) regression analyses results showed that institutional characteristics were a significant predictor of one dimension of community engagement, Institutional Support. Similarly, a logistic regression analysis further indicated that Faculty Support (B = .624, p ≤ .05) and Institutional Commitment (B = .267, p ≤ .10) dimensions were significant predictors of institutional receipt of the Carnegie Engaged Campus Classification, the President’s Higher Education Honor Roll in Community Service, or both designations. In addition, Institution Type (B = -2.487, p ≤ .10) had a moderately significant negative predictive power, indicating that the odds of receiving national recognition were decreased by 8% for 2-year institutions. The final logistic regression model accurately predicted 85.4% of the cases. Implications for higher education in the state of Georgia include the urgent need to establish a Campus Compact coalition to more comprehensively research community engagement in the state and identify best practices and support mechanisms for engagement across the state. Additionally, university leaders must be intentional in developing campus-community partnerships by implicitly and explicitly supporting the community work of faculty, students, and staff through the allocation of resources, rewards, and recognition. Lastly, institutional leaders should increase campus efforts to create campus environments that provide transformative teaching and learning experiences for students, faculty, and staff.

This book was released on 2011-10-18 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Leading scholars of engagement analyze data from the first wave of community-engaged institutions as classified by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching. The analyses collectively serve as a statement about the current status of higher education community engagement in the United States. Eschewing the usual arguments about why community engagement is important, this volume presents the first large-scale stocktaking about the nature and extent of the institutionalization of engagement in higher education. Aligned with the Carnegie Community Engagement Classification framework, the dimensions of leading, student learning, partnering, assessing, funding, and rewarding are discussed. This volume recognizes the progress made by this first wave of community-engaged institutions of higher education, acknowledges best practices of these exemplary institutions, and offers recommendations to leaders as a pathway forward. This is the 147th volume of the Jossey-Bass higher education quarterly report series New Directions for Higher Education. Addressed to presidents, vice presidents, deans, and other higher-education decision-makers on all kinds of campuses, New Directions for Higher Education provides timely information and authoritative advice about major issues and administrative problems confronting every institution.

Book excerpt: Becoming an Engaged Campus offers campus leaders a systematic and detailed approach to creating an environment where public engagement can grow and flourish. The book explains not only what to do to expand community engagement and how to do it, but it also explores how to document, evaluate, and communicate university engagement efforts. Praise for Becoming an Engaged Campus "This provocative yet exceedingly practical book looks at all of the angles and lays bare the opportunities and barriers for campus-community engagement while providing detailed pathways toward change. This comprehensive treatise marks a significant shift in the literature from the what and why of public engagement to the how. It is simply superb!"—Kevin Kecskes, associate vice provost for engagement, Portland State University "Becoming an Engaged Campus is an essential guidebook for university leaders. It details the specific ways that campuses must align all aspects of the institution if they are to be successful in the increasingly important work of community outreach and engagement."—George L. Mehaffy, vice president for academic leadership and change, American Association of State Colleges and Universities "Most colleges and universities make the rhetorical claim of community engagement; this book is an excellent primer on how to transform the rhetoric into reality. The authors do not speak in abstract terms. They describe the specific structures, policies, and programs that have made Northern Kentucky University a national model of how a large urban university can transform its impact on the region it is supposed to serve."—William E. Kirwan, chancellor, University System of Maryland

Book excerpt: The prestige associated with the Carnegie Community Engagement Classification has placed engagement as a key measurement of institutional quality (Driscoll, 2008). However, some institutions have failed to assess institutional support for engagement as a criterion in measuring institutional quality. The purpose of this study is to examine the extent to which one public research university holding the Carnegie Community Engagement Classification since 2010, supports boundary spanning engagement (BSE) as a means to increase their institutional capacity for sustaining community engagement. Utilizing a case study design, nine engagement professionals were interviewed for their perspectives on the institutions support for boundary spanning engagement. Six themes emerged that focused on the impact of community engagement and institutional commitment to community engagement. Data analysis revealed that the engagement professionals hold various understandings and limited awareness of institutional support for BSE, and described an infrastructure for BSE, as well as budgetary support for engagement, as either non-existent or existing within various departments. The significance of this data warrants the attention of those coordinating, measuring and processing information for 2020 reclassification. The lack of understanding, awareness and procedural knowledge regarding engagement has uncovered a need for training and education on boundary spanning engagement. Fundamentally, BSE training, measuring community engagement for the betterment of the institution, as well as a documented indicator for 2020 reclassification should be a major initiative. Further findings disclosed that for institutional culture and transformational change to occur, the dominant influencers, which are service learning, economic development and engagement awareness must be promoted, monitored and measured; elevating community engagement to priority status. Essentially, the findings of my research begin to provide and assist this University with identifying challenges that impede support for boundary spanning engagement as an institutional priority. By rigorously focusing on the foundational indicators for community engagement and successful BSE strategies, the University can be steadfast in preparing for 2020 reclassification, and create tangible goals for sustaining community engagement.

Book excerpt: Although initially utilized in business and industrial environments, quality management systems can be adapted into higher education to assess and improve an institution’s standards. These strategies are now playing a vital role in educational areas such as teaching, learning, and institutional-level practices. However, quality management tools and models must be adapted to fit with the culture of higher education. Quality Management Implementation in Higher Education: Practices, Models, and Case Studies is a pivotal reference source that explores the challenges and solutions of designing quality management models in the current educational culture. Featuring research on topics such as Lean Six Sigma, distance education, and student supervision, this book is ideally designed for school board members, administrators, deans, policymakers, stakeholders, professors, graduate students, education professionals, and researchers seeking current research on the applications and success factors of quality management systems in various facets of higher education.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study of universities’ role in regional engagement has traditionally been focusing on exceptional cases. This book presents a reconceptualization which embraces its underlying complexity and proposes a roadmap for a renewed research agenda. Starting from the grassroots level of universities’ everyday engagements, the book delves into the manifold ways in which university knowledge agents build connections with regional partners. Through 11 empirical chapters, the authors not only chart the diversity among case institutions, engagement mechanisms, and regional contexts but also use that diversity to advance a novel conceptual framework, centered on the process of mundaneness, for unpacking university-regions’ everyday activities, taking into account the dynamic, complex, and co-evolving interplay between (a) key social agents and institutions, (b) the contexts in which they are embedded, as well as (c) the historical trajectories and strategic ambitions underpinning context-specific social arrangements and interactions that are mediated by temporal and spatial dimensions. Drawing on evolutionary economic geography, innovation studies, management and organization studies, and historical perspectives, the volume advances a new mode of understanding university-regional engagement as a form of extendable temporary coupling, which also helps to address perennial policy and managerial questions alike of what to do with universities that do not serve local labour market needs and/or are located in regions suffering from brain drain. The book illustrates such dynamics from diverse national contexts and three continents: Brazil, Caribbean, China, Italy, Norway, and Poland. This book will be valuable reading for advanced students, researchers, and policymakers working in economic geography, regional development, innovation, and higher education management.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides university teachers, leaders and policymakers with evidence on how researchers in several countries are monitoring and improving student engagement—the extent to which students are exposed to and participate in effective educational practices. It captures insights from international implementations of the National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE), developed in the United States. In the last half decade NSSE has been adapted and used in several other countries, producing the largest international collaboration yet involving educationally relevant data on students’ engagement in higher education. Leaders of established national collaborations draw on their experiences with hundreds of institutions to contribute their insights. Framed by their cultural and educational contexts, they discuss issues concerning first-year learners, international students, part-time and distance learners, as well as teaching and leadership in support of student learning. Each chapter outlines strategies based on national case studies and presents perspectives supported by concrete examples of how these have played out in diverse settings. The book suggests mechanisms that can be used by institutions, ministries and quality agencies around the world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What makes online learning engaging to students? Engagement depends upon designing learning that is active and collaborative, authentic and experiential, constructive and transformative. While students and instructors can inadvertently act in several ways to decrease student engagement in online coursework, research indicates a range of options that have been proven to engage students in their online courses. This report explores the learning theories, pedagogies, and active learning options that encourage student engagement, push them to think more deeply, and teach them how to learn. It guides instructors on how to evaluate the effectiveness of technological and software tools, and to evaluate and assess the activities, learning, and retention occurring in their online classes. Finally, it will help instructors find inspiration for engagement from the face-to-face settings that can be translated into the online environment. This is the 6th issue of the 40th volume of the Jossey-Bass series ASHE Higher Education Report. Each monograph is the definitive analysis of a tough higher education issue, based on thorough research of pertinent literature and institutional experiences. Topics are identified by a national survey. Noted practitioners and scholars are then commissioned to write the reports, with experts providing critical reviews of each manuscript before publication.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Human behaviour is infinitely complex, the result of thousands of interactions between predispositions, external factors and physical and cognitive processes. It is also highly unpredictable, which makes meaningful social engagement difficult without the aid of some external framework such as that offered by an institution. Both formal and informal institutions can provide the element of predictability necessary for successful, complex interactions, a factor which is often overlooked by institutional analysts and designers. Drawing on a wide range of disciplines including psychology, economics, and sociological and political studies, this book develops a coherent and accessible theory for explaining the unpredictability of individual behaviour. The author then highlights the danger of institutional reforms undermining the very capacity to generate predictability which is so central to their success. This book will appeal to academics, researchers and professionals in many fields including management studies, behavioural economics and the new, interdisciplinary field of institutional design.

Chapters discuss: The National Survey of Student Engagement: Conceptual and Empirical Foundations The Use of Engagement Data in Accreditation, Planning, and Assessment Analyzing and Interpreting NSSE Data The Role of Precollege Data in Assessing and Understanding Student Engagement in College Effectively Involving Faculty in the Assessment of Student Engagement Converting Engagement Results into Action Toward Relfective Accountability: Using NSSE for Accountability and Transparency NSSE, Organizational Intelligence, and the Institutional Researcher The widespread uses of student engagement results have helped to increase the visibility and importance of campus assessment efforts and of institutional researchers, who provide campus leaders with objective, trustworthy data about student and institutional performance. This is the 141st volume of the Jossey-Bass quarterly report series New Directions for Institutional Research. Always timely and comprehensive, New Directions for Institutional Research provides planners and administrators in all types of academic institutions with guidelines in such areas as resource coordination, information analysis, program evaluation, and institutional management.

This book was released on 2014-04-29 with total page 119 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the emphasis on economic development through community-university engagement intensifies, educators and policy makers must learn to think differently about the engagement process. This is particularly true when a narrowly defined group of leaders sets the engagement agenda, and those who are traditionally underrepresented continue to be marginalized in the conversations about their own futures. Emphasizing the importance of community as a context for engagement and building strong relationships over time, Moore calls on institutional leaders to intentionally facilitate broad participation by all members of a community in discussions about how and in what direction the community will develop. This is the second issue of the 40th volume of the Josse-Bass series ASHE Higher Education Report. Each monograph is the definitive analysis of a tough higher education issue, based on thorough research of pertinent literature and institutional experiences.
