An engaged university moment. 330 $a"University civic engagement encompasses a broad range of efforts to directly apply university resources to the communities and societies in which they are located. These activities include applied research, community service learning courses, education and training of non-matriculated groups, community development partnerships, and student volunteering. The Engaged University is a fully empirical account of a genuinely global movement of higher education institutions to increase university civic engagement. Based on the self-assessment policies and practices of an international network of over 20 universities committed to social and civic service, it examines the everyday their objectives, management and achievements. This timely volume offers three special contributions to the literature on higher education policy and practice: an historical overview of university foundation, which is demonstrated as having almost invariably incorporated a context-specific element of social purpose, together with a survey of how these "founding" intentions have fared in different systems of higher education; a contemporary account of the policy and practice of universities all over the world seeking to re-engage with this social purpose; and an overview of generic issues which emerge for the "engaged university.""--$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aInternational studies in higher education. 606 $aCommunity and college$vCross-cultural studies 606 $aHigher education and state$vCross-cultural studies 606 $aEducation, Higher$xSocial aspects$vCross-cultural studies 606 $aEducation and globalization$vCross-cultural studies 608 $aElectronic books. 615 10$aCommunity and college 615 0$aHigher education and state 615 0$aEducation, Higher$xSocial aspects 615 0$aEducation and globalization 676 $a378.1/03 701 $aWatson$b David$f1949-$0978607 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910459962903321 996 $aThe engaged university$92230486 997 $aUNINA
