>> Return to Toolkit: Demonstrating Quality and Impacts of Engaged Scholarships (in RPT Processes)

Excerpts from these guidelines, particularly as they pertain to research, are highlighted in this brief essay. They may be useful both to community-engaged faculty to guide the documentation needed for their review, promotion, and tenure portfolio, and to RPT committees as a tool for assessing cases that emphasize community-engaged scholarship.
