Ernest A. Lynton envisioned colleges and universities as not only instruments for creating new knowledge, but vehicles that engage the broader community to solve society’s complex problems. The Intellectual Entrepreneurship Program developed and administered by the Graduate School at the University of Texas at Austin submits that realizing Lynton’s dream requires that academic professionals in the twenty-first century think of themselves as citizen-scholars who integrate (as opposed to apply) their academic discipline with the experiences and objectives of the broader community. This requires that colleges and universities rethink the concept and vocabulary surrounding current notions of outreach. Terms such as “outreach” and “public service” convey the impression that institutions of higher education hold all knowledge and, based upon their goodwill, reach out to an intellectually destitute community. As long as this value system exists, the academic and public spheres necessarily will remain bifurcated.
