The Carnegie Engagement Classification is designed to be a form of
evidence-based documentation that a campus meets the criteria to be
recognized as a community engaged institution. Editors John Saltmarsh
and Mathew B. Johnson use their extensive experience working with the
Carnegie Engagement Classification to offer a collection of resources
for institutions that are interested in making a first-time or
reclassification application for this recognition. Contributors offer
insight on approaches to collecting the materials needed for an
application and strategies for creating a complete and successful
application. Chapters include detailed descriptions of what happened on
campuses that succeeded in their application attempts and even
reflection from a campus that failed on their first application. Readers
can make use of worksheets at the end of each chapter to organize their
own classification efforts.
