In 2002, "Stepping Forward as Stewards of Place" identified "public engagement" as having the essential qualities of being "place-related," "interactive," "mutually beneficial" and "integrated." The publicly engaged institution was defined as being "fully committed to direct, two-way interaction with communities and other external constituencies through the development, exchange, and application of knowledge, information, and expertise for mutual benefit" (p.9). The American Association of State Colleges and Universities (AASCU) definition of public engagement is consistent with the definition used in the Carnegie Community Engagement Classification: "Community Engagement" describes "the collaboration between institutions of higher education and their larger communities (local, regional/state, national, global) for the mutually beneficial exchange of knowledge and resources in a context of partnership and reciprocity." (www.classifications.carnegiefoundation.org/descriptions/community_ engagement.php). The authors use the terms public engagement and community engagement interchangeably in this report: both involve a process of collaboration and reciprocity and a purpose of creating partnerships of university knowledge and resources with those of the public and private sectors to: enrich scholarship, research and creative activity; enhance curriculum, teaching and learning; prepare educated, engaged citizens; strengthen democratic values and civic responsibility; address critical societal issues; and contribute to the public good. The remainder of this report is organized to present the Summary Analysis and Recommendations, followed by key "areas of focus" that include key findings, examples and discussion in each area. Following the areas of focus is a section on "overall discussion and recommendations." The recommendations are designed to inform campus leaders at AASCU campuses and other engaged campuses--as well as campuses seeking the Carnegie Community Engagement Classification in the future--as to way of deepening their institutional commitment to community engagement. The analysis for this report is based on descriptive statistics of the prevalence of different practices among the AASCU community engaged campuses. The report also identifies examples--promising practices--from the applications without identifying individual institutions.
