Morning!!
Of course. Attached is the guide that was developed for this purpose.
Here is an engagement protocol we developed that complements the guide: https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.purdue.edu/engagement/our-story/enga...
Here is Purdue's official P&T policy (scroll down for engagement): https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.purdue.edu/academics/faculty-affairs...
Here is a link to another article that just came out: https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://jprm.scholasticahq.com/article/153977-re...
What we learned is to first define what community engagement is, what are its outcomes, and what are its onramps. To get all ten community colleges somewhat on the same page, we developed the framework and protocol and launched the engaged college program. The ECP allowed each college to operationalize the protocol within their own cultures but more importantly, increase awareness and define what community engagement is and what it is not.

Dear Jason and colleagues,
Recognition of community-engaged scholarship in the tenure/promotion evaluation has been an area of significant attention at UCLA. Please find documents and details at this web link: https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://communityengagement.ucla.edu/faculty/res...
I’d be happy to discuss how we made progress on this issue with anyone who wants more information.

Hi Jason and all,
UW is working on this effort as well, and has learned much from UCLA, Minnesota, and others. Here's our draft toolkit:
https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.washington.edu/community-engagement/... In particular see https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.washington.edu/community-engagement/...
We'll be updating it with a literature review and some other resources soon.
Warmly, Jen
