Engagement and OK Compact
Engagement is a core element driving higher education quality and impact in the 21st Century.
Engagement is relevant to every institution regardless of type; the level of relevance to discovery and learning varies according to mission, and community context.
Each institution must articulate its engagement mission and link it to a coherent research and teaching agenda.
