Printer-friendly versionHot off the press is the Jossey-Bass/Wiley New Directions for Higher Education’s publication, : The First Wave of Carnegie Classified Institutions. Amy Driscoll, who worked with us on this voluntary Carnegie Classification, said that it was “the talk of a recent Association of American Colleges and Universities’ meeting.”
“To demonstrate that it is critical for higher education to become engaged with its community in authentic, mutually beneficial partnerships, this volume eschews the usual arguments and presents the first large-scale ‘stock-taking’ about the nature and extent of institutionalization of engagement in higher education,” the editors note. Driscoll writes the first chapter, “Carnegie’s New Community Engagement Classification: Affirming Higher Education’s Role in Community.”
