Indeed, one of Dr. Gilbert\u2019s long-term goals is to expand outreach by increasing community engagement. Our new Strategic Plan includes community engagement as one of six major pillars. And recently, the institution applied for the 2020 Elective Community Engagement Classification from the Carnegie Foundation.<\/p>\n<p>The Carnegie Foundation defines community engagement in this way:<\/p>\n<p style=\"\">Community engagement describes the collaboration between institutions of higher education and their larger communities (local, regional\/state, national, global) for the mutually beneficial creation and exchange of knowledge and resources in a context of partnership and reciprocity.<\/p>\n<p style=\"\">The purpose of community engagement is the partnership (of knowledge and resources) between colleges and universities and 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.<\/p>\n<p>Community engagement is a natural conductor for supporting teaching and learning; creative and scholarly endeavors; and, of course, service and citizenship.
