Based on the findings of a multi-year research project, this volume
profiles successful community engagement practices at historically Black
colleges and universities (HBCUs), Hispanic-serving institutions (HSIs),
and tribal colleges. Engagement levels at these institutions outstrip
levels seen elsewhere on nearly every measure; the innovative ways these
institutions put engagement into practice offer models for all of higher
education.
In addition to examining organizational structures, curricular
approaches, institutional culture, and partnering strategies that
support local communities, the book offers a comprehensive
self-assessment tool to help campuses evaluate and deepen their own
engagement practices. This book is the second volume produced as part of
Campus Compacts Indicators of Engagement Project; the first is The
Community's College: Indicators of Engagement at Two-Year Institutions.
