Engagement Benchmarking ToolREPORT ON CALENDAR YEAR 2013
EngagementThe collaboration between institutions of higher education and their
larger communities (local, regional/state, national, global) for the
mutually benefi cial exchange of knowledge and resources
in a context of partnership and reciprocity.
— Carnegie Foundation —
To track university engagement, an online survey of faculty
and academic staff regarding their scholarly outreach
and engagement was developed. Data collected through
the K-State EBT demonstrate the university’s collective
commitment of time, scholarly resources, and research
discoveries for the direct benefi t of citizens, communities,
and organizations in Kansas and communities worldwide.
The EBT is a tool that benchmarks the university’s progress
toward Theme 4 of K-State’s Vision 2025 plan, gathers data
for re-accreditation of Carnegie’s community engagement
classifi cation, and provides data used for reporting to
the Kansas Board of Regents and the Higher Learning
Commission.

Service-Learning
An engaged pedagogy in which students learn from their direct experiences and their
refl ection on those experiences. Service-learning provides students with an opportunity
to use and apply what they are learning to a current community issue. It is a high-impact
educational practice in that an extensive body of research has been developed which indicates
that service-learning is highly eff ective and benefi cial to a range of students.
