Includes bibliographical references and index.
"University civic engagement encompasses a broad range of efforts to directly apply university resources to the communities and societies in which they are located. These activities include applied research, community service learning courses, education and training of non-matriculated groups, community development partnerships, and student volunteering. The Engaged University is an empirical account of a genuinely global movement of higher education institutions to increase university civic engagement. Based on the self-assessment policies and practices of an international network of over twenty universities committed to social and civic service, this book examines their objectives, management and achievements. This timely volume offers three special contributions to the literature on higher education policy and practice: an historical overview of university foundation, together with a survey of how these "founding" intentions have fared in different systems of higher education; a contemporary account of the policies and practices of universities all over the world seeking to reengage with this social purpose; and an overview of generic issues which emerge for the "engaged university.""--Provided by publisher.
