New Resources for Faculty Recruitment and Support

Department chairs play a critical role in recruiting community-engaged scholars to the University. By recruiting community-engaged scholars, departments help the University to fulfill its mission to engage meaningfully and ethically with both local and global communities. Additionally, research findings indicate that community-engaged scholars help departments to foster a more diverse academic community.

The CCE has just published a new resource, Valuing Community Engagement Throughout the Faculty Recruitment Process, to help departments recruit outstanding new faculty. This resource provides suggestions for every stage of the recruitment process, from potential language to include in the job ad itself to questions to be asked of the candidate during the interview process.

Community-Engaged Faculty Activity: Resource for Department Chairs provides important and updated information about community engagement in higher education for department chairs and other academic leaders who seek to support community-engaged scholars and teachers.
