Rewards Institute – FOR INSTITUTION TEAMS ONLY - 8:30 to 3:30pm
Facilitators:
Dr. KerryAnn O’Meara, University of Maryland and Dr. Timothy K. Eatman,
Syracuse University
Participating
campus teams of administrators and faculty will develop actions plans to
advance tenure and promotion guidelines and policies on their own campuses. We
recommend a team of 3-5 people interested in advancing campus recognition of
engaged scholarship. There is significant mismatch between the articulated
priorities of an institution and the reality of tenure and promotion policies
that can hold campuses back from becoming truly engaged institutions. Numerous
studies of faculty involvement in community engagement show that academic
reward systems that do not change to assess and recognize engaged scholarship
stand as a formidable barrier to the careers of engaged scholars, recruitment
of faculty for this critical work, and campuses truly institutionalizing the
work at their core. Teams will identify a key issue in advance of the
institute, then develop an action plan with both the facilitators and examples
of faculty guidelines and other evidence from nationally recognized engaged
institutions.
Community-Engaged Scholarship: Strategies, Resources and
Opportunities
8:30am to 3:30pm
Facilitator:
Dr. Sherril B. Gelmon, Portland State University and Community-Campus
Partnerships for Health
Are you a
faculty member interested in leveraging community-engaged scholarship in
pursuit of tenure, promotion and/or personnel review? This preconference is for
you! This institute will include a discussion and illustration of competencies
for community-engaged scholarship, opportunities for faculty development to
build such competencies, and use of a self-assessment to identify a personal
action plan for building such competencies. Participants and presenter will
also focus on a discussion of products of community-engaged scholarship for
community purposes and as evidence of scholarship. Strategies for documenting
community-engaged scholarship and preparing for the process of peer review from
the faculty, department and dean's perspectives will be covered. Participants
will be introduced to a variety of resources that support community-engaged
scholarship through a rich toolkit of mechanisms to support their work. While
the emphasis of the preconference is on the faculty perspective, individuals
who work with faculty and/or mentor or review faculty will also find the
information valuable.
The Culture of the Engaged Campus
11am to 3:30pm
Facilitators:
Dr. Matthew Hartley, University of Pennsylvania, Dr. Virginia Horvath,
President, SUNY/Fredonia & Dr. Dr. Laurie Worrall, Executive Director, New
York Campus Compact, formerly Associate Vice -President, Academic Affairs,
DePaul University
Creating
a campus culture that fosters community engagement requires institutions to
transform their fundamental core practices. What does it take to shift an
institutional culture to embrace community engagement practices? Through case
studies, this institute will make the case that targeting strategic practices,
institutional structures, and moments in history can help create the engaged
institution. Participants and facilitators will reflect on case studies that
have emerged from extensive national research and explore the examples of two
different institutions – one public, one private – to understand the critical
areas of practice that can lead to cultural transformation. This institute is
valuable for participants interested in advancing a community engagement agenda
on their campuses.
