Abstract

Over the past 20 years, the field of higher education outreach and community engagement has grown and matured substantially. This chapter a discusses proliferation of new engagement-focused centers and programs on campuses, an increase in the number of journals and other publications that explore engagement issues in higher education, a continued growth of conference programs and networks focused on advancing higher education community engagement, and an increase in the number of senior-level positions responsible for institutionalizing engagement on college campuses. “The Scholarship of Engagement,” once considered a revolutionary piece, has stood the test of time, serving for the authors of the articles that follow as the first introduction to what now represents a critical and important philosophy of contemporary higher education. Unlike the more linear approaches to strengthening support for engaged scholarship that are found in the early literature, Franz’s model identified multiple entry points for faculty and community members to plan, practice, and tell their story of engaged scholarship.
