Curricular Engagement means that teaching, learning and scholarship engage faculty, students, and community in mutually beneficial and respectful collaboration.
Their interactions address community-identified needs, deepen studentsâ civic and academic learning, enhance community well-being, and enrich the scholarship
of the institution. Outreach focuses on the application and provision of institutional resources for community use with benefits to both campus and community.
Partnerships focus on collaborative interactions with community and related scholarship for the mutually beneficial exchange, exploration, and application of
knowledge, information, and resources (research, capacity building, economic development, etc.).
