2. Conducted in a scholarly manner– Clear goals– Adequate preparation– Appropriate methodology

3. Is appropriately and effectively documented and disseminated to (academic and community) audiences, with reflective critique about significance, processes, and lessons learned

4. Has significance beyond the individual context– Breaks new ground or is innovative– Can be replicated and elaborated

5. Is judged to be significant and meritorious (product, process, and/or results) by panel of peers

6. Demonstrates consistently ethical practice, adhering to codes of conduct in research, teaching, and the discipline

7. Recognizes the dynamic relationship between tacit and explicit knowledge

Engaged Teaching/Learning

Definition

Engaged teaching is organized around sharing knowledge with various audiences through either formal or informal arrangements.

Types of engaged teaching vary by relationship among the teacher, the learner, and the learning context. Engaged teaching may be for-credit or not-for-credit, guided by a teacher or self-directed.

Engaged Service

Definition

Engaged service is associated with the use of university expertise to address specific issues (ad hoc or long-term) identified by individuals, organizations, or communities.

This type of engagement is not primarily driven by a research question, though a research question may be of secondary interest in the activity.

MSU International Business CenterServing 1,945 companies and 23 educational institutions in Michigan since 2006.

The map represents cities with companies and educational institutions served in Michigan since 2006 by the International Business Center in the Eli Broad College of Business at Michigan State University.

As a background, in the spirit of Michigan State University’s “worldgrant” focus along with President Obama’s National Export Initiative, the IBC has centered increased attention on helping U.S. businesses thrive in the global marketplace – with a particular emphasis on our home state of Michigan.

Nationwide, since 2006 the MSU International Business Center has served 12,137 companies and 176 universities and educational institutions with training, development, assistance, research, and much more (and double those numbers since its founding in 1988).

Given the nation’s increased focus on exporting since President Obama’s 2010 State of the Union speech in which he highlighted the National Export Initiative, we are delighted to be part of the international business and trade solution in Michigan and across the country.

The International Business Center (ibc.msu.edu), started in 1988, has been designated as a National Resource Center by the U.S. Department of Education since 1990. IBC’s mission is to provide superior education, research, and assistance to businesses, public policy makers, academics, and students on international business and trade.

COMMERCIALIZED ACTIVITIES

Commercialized activities are associated with a variety of projects in which university-generated knowledge is translated into practical or commercial applications for

the benefit of individuals, organizations, or communities.

ASSESSING EXCELLENCE IN ENGAGED SCHOLARSHIP

Page 45: Recognizing Engaged Scholarship for Promotion &Tenure: Lessons for the University of Louisville Hiram E. Fitzgerald, PhD University Outreach and Engagement.

University Outreach and Engagement convened MSU faculty and administrators to address institutional issues related to outreach and engagement

• 1993: defined outreach as a form of scholarship anddistinguished between professional service and outreach and engagement

•1996-2000: developed indicators for evaluating quality outreach and engagement (Points of Distinction)

•2001: revised promotion and tenure form to accommodate the scholarship of outreach and engagement

•2004: launched annual Outreach and Engagement Measurement Instrument (OEMI)

•2006: professional development programs on communityengagement for undergraduates, grad students, new faculty

Context• Consistency with university/unit

values and stakeholder interests• Appropriateness of expertise• Degree of collaboration• Appropriateness of methodological

approach• Sufficiency and creative use of

Revised Reappointment, Promotion, and Tenure Procedures (2001)

Faculty committee makes recommendations to revise reappointment, promotion, and tenure forms and instructions along these lines:

1. emphasize multiple definitions of scholarship;

2. promote the use of evidence to document the quality of that scholarship;

3. embed opportunities to report outreach and engagement throughout the form;

4. distinguish among service to the university, to the profession, and to the broader community;

5. include new questions focused on scholarship of integration

6. broaden the list of examples of scholarship to include outreach scholarship in each section
