Abstract

This article describes how a study/action group of faculty explored civically engaged scholarship during the course of an academic year. Participants learned about various forms of civically engaged scholarship such as service-learning and
community-based research. Discussions included dialogue on issues relevant to retention, promotion, and tenure. Based on this information, participants developed their own civically engaged scholarship projects. Outcomes and future directions for the group are presented.
