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

The Jossey-BassHigher and Adult Education Series
This book is dedicated to the faculty, administrators, students, and community members who, through their public engagement commitment, and involvement, have helped ensure that Northern Kentucky University is deeply engaged in advancing regional and statewide progress.
Foreword
The term engaged carries many positive associations. We applaud students when they are deeply engaged in their studies. We take pride in professors who are engaged in serious scholarship. To engage is to be connected, committed, and invested. Yet, in the case of universities, engagement is sometimes an occasion for ambivalence. There are those who ask whether being engaged is a good idea for institutions of higher education. How could engagement engender anything but pride and satisfaction?
The source of academic ambivalence around institutional engagement derives from a long tradition that treats the special character of universities as a function of their disengagement. Universities are special precisely because they are separated from the passions of the moment, the fads of the day, the flavor of the month, and those shifting political winds that so readily dominate the media. Although those outside the academy may view “the ivory tower” as an epithet, the tower's inhabitants view that very isolation as its greatest virtue. Tenure is valued in great measure because it protects faculty members from those inside and outside the academy who are so passionately engaged politically or intellectually that they would limit the academic freedom of others. A scholar can pursue basic research in mathematics, classics, or molecular biology without having to justify it with reference to its likely contribution to solving the problems of poverty, ignorance, or disease. If a university becomes too deeply engaged, some might worry, it may run the risk of trying to solve the short-term crises of a society instead of remaining focused on the longer-term mysteries of truth, beauty, and justice that are timeless rather than merely timely, enduring instead of immediate.
