Engaged Scholarship Support
Senior Fellow for Faculty Engagement
The senior faculty fellow is a tenured faculty member with demonstrated commitment to community-engaged research/teaching and institutional support for engaged scholarship. The fellow designs an institutional support project to enhance the institutionalization of engaged scholarship in the area of research, merit, curriculum, or partnerships.
CLAS RPT Case Study
We are conducting a case study on the Reappointment, Promotion and Tenure (RPT) practices of the College of Liberal Arts & Sciences (CLAS) related to engaged scholarship. About five years ago, CLAS became the first college on campus to integrate engaged scholarship language into its tenure and promotion guidelines. Today, as other colleges and various departments consider similar guidelines, we have launched a study that will analyze CLAS’ RPT data as well as faculty perceptions of support for community-engaged scholarship. The results will allow faculty and administrators to highlight and enhance successes and strategically address challenges. If you’re interested in being part of the case study, contact Dr. Ryan Kilmer.
