This award recognizes commitment to impact as a central professional endeavor and the pursuit of knowledge in order to improve the world. The Engaged Scholar collaborates with and involves community partners and students in the discovery, integration, application, and dissemination of new knowledge for public purpose. Through his/her scholarship, the recipient connects any of the above dimensions of scholarship to the understanding and solving of pressing social, civic, economic, and moral problems. The recipient is a campus leader in incorporating service into scholarship and campus-community partnerships, and serves as a faculty citizen exemplar for the institution.
