Past Events
The National Center for the Study of University Engagement (NCSUE) strives to be a preeminent innovator within the scholarly movement of engagement in higher education. NCSUE deepens the study of and discussion about two key principles--engaged scholarship and the scholarship of engagement--to inform and advance the national agenda.
What's New at NCSUE?
Outreach and Engagement in Promotion and Tenure Study
Preliminary findings from MSU research study that looks at impact of embedding outreach and engagement in the promotion and tenure form
Background
In 2001, Michigan State University significantly revised its promotion and tenure form to embed outreach and engagement into reporting all aspects of faculty work. NSCUE researchers studied six years of promotion and tenure forms to examine how outreach and engagement activities were reported on the revised form.
Preliminary Findings
90% of MSU faculty report at least one outreach and engagement activity on their promotion and tenure form.
47% of MSU faculty report outreach and engagement activities as cutting across their research, teaching, and service responsibilities.

What is Engaged Scholarship?
Outreach and engagement activities reflect a scholarship-based approach to teaching, research, and service for the direct benefit of external audiences. Such activities, in turn, enrich all of the faculty member's work.
What is the Scholarship of Engagement?
Faculty engaged in outreach activities are encouraged to reflect on, write about, and disseminate scholarship about their activities. Scholars in the field of outreach and engagement study the processes, relationships, and impacts of outreach work on engaged faculty, the Institution, disciplines, the academy as a whole, and the community partners with whom they work.
