  2. Community Engagement at ISU • The development of collaborative partnerships between education, business, social services, and government that contribute to the academic mission of the University and directly benefit the community. • Community engagement includes activities in the teaching, research, and service endeavors of faculty, students, and staff.

  3. Community Engagement includes: • Technical assistance and applied research to help increase understanding of a local or regional problem or test solutions for that problem. • Lectures, seminars, and other public forum that provide a neutral place to explore community issues. • Extension of learning beyond the University walls and into the community. • Enriching the cultural life of the community. • Service, including internships and service-learning, that directly benefits the public. • Economic development initiatives, including technology transfer and support for small businesses. • Involvement of community members in planning and decision making activities of the University.

  4. Engaged Scholarship A specific conception of faculty work that connects the intellectual assets of the institution (i.e. faculty expertise) to public issues such as community, social, cultural, human and economic development. Through engaged forms of teaching and research, faculty apply their academic expertise to public purposes, as a way of contributing to the fulfillment of the core mission of the institution. Holland, 2005
