Engaged Scholar Award
Description:
This award honors one faculty member
from a VCC member campus whose academic life embodies
Ernest Boyer’s definition of the “scholarship of engagement" wherein
community engagement and problem-solving are an integral part
of his/her teaching and research. 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.
