Collin College was one of 12community colleges nationwideselected by the CarnegieFoundation for the Advancementof Teaching for its 2010Community EngagementClassification.

Colleges and universities with aninstitutional focus on communityengagement were invited to applyfor the classification, first offeredin 2006 as part of an extensiverestructuring of The CarnegieClassification of Institutions ofHigher Education. In total, 115U.S. colleges and universitieswere distinguished. Theinstitutions selected include 35 research universities, 41master’s colleges and universities, 25 baccalaureatecolleges, 12 community colleges and 2 specializedinstitutions.

Unlike the foundation’s other classifications that rely onnational data, this is an “elective” classification—institutionselected to participate by submitting required documentationdescribing the nature and extent of their engagement withthe community, be it local or beyond. This approachenabled the Foundation to address elements of institutionalmission and distinctiveness that are not represented in thenational data on colleges and universities.

“Through a classification that acknowledges significantcommitment to and demonstration of communityengagement, the Foundation encourages colleges anduniversities to become more deeply engaged, to improveteaching and learning and to generate socially responsiveknowledge to benefit communities,” said CarnegiePresident Anthony Bryk. “We are very pleased with themovement we are seeing in this direction.”

Collin College was joined by Blinn College, Sam HoustonState University, St. Mary’s University, The University ofTexas at Arlington, The University of Texas at Brownsvilleand Texas Southmost College, and The University ofTexas at El Paso as colleges and universities in Texasawarded the honor.

Engagement Classification acknowledges the dedicationCollin College students and faculty have to serving thecommunity,” said Brenda Kihl, vice president of academicand institutional effectiveness at Collin College. “Last year,students provided over 12,000 service hours to non-profitorganizations. Engagement in the community enriches theeducation experience and broadens perspectives todevelop future servant leaders.”

According to Amy Driscoll, a consulting scholar with theCarnegie Foundation and with the New England ResourceCenter for Higher Education, “We noted strong institutionalalignment across leadership, infrastructure, strategicplanning, budgeting, faculty teaching and scholarship, andcommunity partnerships.” Driscoll further explained, “Thereis increased student engagement tied to the curriculum aswell as increased use of institutional measures forunderstanding student engagement in learning throughcommunity engagement.”

The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement ofTeaching is an independent policy and research center thatsupports needed transformations in American educationthrough tighter connections between teaching practice,evidence of student learning, the communication and useof this evidence, and structured opportunities to buildknowledge. The Foundation is located in Stanford, Calif.More information may be found atwww.carnegiefoundation.org.
