Find out how to get the most out of your institution's Campus Compact membership! Join us for a Virtual Open House to learn more about all the tools, resources, and programs available to Campus Compact members. We'll share information about ways everyone on your campus—faculty, staff, senior leaders, and students—can leverage Campus Compact membership to support institutional priorities and move forward civic and community engagement work.
Campus Compact invites members to join in a series of “coalition conversations” for collective thinking and action focused on common themes in our work. These conversations are part of our coalition-building work, driven by members committed to collaboratively advancing community and civic engagement work in higher education. The field of community-engaged scholarship continues to evolve as we better understand the nuances of our work. Faculty development needs to follow a similar trajectory. In 2010, Doberneck, Glass and Schweitzer found that faculty divide their community-engaged work into four categories: research, teaching and learning, creative activities, and service. Faculty development efforts must address the type of community-engaged scholarship, institutional context, and the transformative nature of this work. What models are you using to create quality faculty development initiatives?

UMass Dartmouth, in partnership with Campus Compact, invites you to please join the 2022 Engaged Scholarship Symposium at the UMass Dartmouth, Clair T. Carney Library, Grand Reading Room. Lunch will be served in person. Registration also includes a virtual option. Historically, higher education has been criticized for hiding in the Ivory Tower – isolating ourselves from our communities and producing irrelevant research. The Engaged Scholarship Symposium is designed to celebrate the usefulness of scholarship in shaping policy and enriching our communities. Participants will be exposed to strategies for involving students in active teaching, research and examples of engaged scholarship across many disciplines. The program is attached for your review. Andrew Hoffman, the keynote, will discuss his new book “The Engaged Scholar: Expanding the Impact of Academic Research in Today’s World.” Following the keynote, four UMass Dartmouth faculty will present their engaged scholarship. This event is free, but registration is required. You may register at: https://es-symposium-2022.eventbrite.com/
