A weekly publication for the BGSU community
 |
| Dr. Lorilee Sandmann talks
with Provost John Folkins before her presentation
on establishing standards and documenting
the scholarship of engagement. |
Faculty offered expert advice
on the ‘nuts and bolts’ of engagement
Faculty and administrators received some practical
information on the planning, documentation and assessment
of engaged scholarship March 24 when Dr. Lorilee
Sandmann, associate vice president for public service
and outreach at the University of Georgia, visited
campus. Sandmann is a national leader on issues
related to the development of standards on the scholarship
of engagement.
In introducing Sandmann, President Sidney Ribeau
noted that BGSU and other institutions that are
already involved in integrating engaged scholarship
into their missions and research agendas are about
10 years ahead of the rest of the country.
"We’re talking about how you do it now,
and 10 years from now accrediting agencies will
looking at how to assess engagement,” he predicted.
Sandmann told attendees that institutional benchmarks
are already being developed by accrediting agencies.
For example, the North Central Association of Colleges
and Schools, BGSU’s accrediting agency, has
named its Criterion 5 “engagement and service.”
And the Carnegie Foundation is reclassifying some
of its categories and has added “engaged institution”
as an optional criterion.
