Office gets new name: Office for Public and Community-Engaged Scholarship

The Office for Outreach and Engagement has changed its name to the Office for Public and Community-Engaged Scholarship to reflect its charge to support faculty involved in public and community-engaged scholarship and to differentiate its focus from other campus functions and units. “This name change reinforces the office’s focus on the nexus of faculty scholarship and community concerns and increases the likelihood that faculty and staff will seek out support for their community-focused projects,” said Scott Battle, dean of Continuing Education and vice provost for outreach and engagement.
