PROVIDENCE, R.I. \u2014 On Monday, in an effort to further its mission set forth in the strategic plan \u201cCommunity Engaged Scholarship and Action<\/a>,\u201d the Brown University Swearer Center for Public Service launched the National Field-Building Initiative, which aims to advance the fields of community engagement and social innovation through collaboration with students, faculty, community partners and other institutions of higher education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn launching the National Field-Building Initiative and becoming the host institution for the Carnegie Classification for Community Engagement, Brown is embracing its heritage,\u201d Brown University President Christina Paxson said. \u201cIt has long been a strand of Brown\u2019s DNA to educate leaders for service to the community, the nation, and the world. Engaged scholarship is the new standard in higher education for fostering skills in real-time problem-solving and civic engagement. And it is now central to realizing Brown\u2019s mission.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Associate Dean of Engaged Scholarship and Swearer Center Director Mathew Johnson hosted an initiative kickoff reception at Brown\u2019s Stephen Robert \u201862 Campus Center on the day of the launch, where he highlighted the importance of the initiative\u2019s inaugural partners, including the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, the New England Resource Center for Higher Education (NERCHE), Siena College Research Institute, and the Coalition of Urban and Metropolitan Universities (CUMU).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThrough this initiative, Brown and the Swearer Center seek to embrace and expand our institutional civic role in higher educational,\u201d Johnson said. \u201cWe\u2019re honored that these partners have joined us as we embark in advancing our field.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anchoring the initiative will be the transition of the administrative and research home for the Carnegie Classification for Community Engagement from NERCHE to the Swearer Center. There are currently 361 campuses with the elective Community Engagement Classification, which opens for application on a five-year cycle. The most recent cycle concluded in 2015. By becoming the host of the Classification, the Swearer Center will house all data from past and future classifications for research use, administer future classification processes, and build events, research projects, and other field building activities on the classification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are delighted to partner with the Swearer Center for Public Service at Brown University,\u201d Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching President, Anthony S. Bryk, said. \u201cThe Foundation has a long history of strengthening education by supporting institutions to commit their unique resources and knowledge to the service of local communities. There is no better home for the Carnegie Community Engagement Classification than the Swearer Center, with its unwavering vision of community-serving scholarship, partnership, and engagement.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Carnegie Classifications were first developed and offered in 2006 as part of an extensive restructuring of the Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education. The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching is committed to developing networks of ideas, individuals, and institutions to advance teaching and learning. The Foundation is known for joining together scholars, practitioners, and designers in new ways to solve problems of educational practice. Toward this end, the Foundation works to integrate the discipline of improvement science into education with the goal of building the field\u2019s capacity to improve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the reception, Donald P. Levy, Director of the Siena College Research Institute and Co-Director of the National Assessment for Service and Community Engagement (NASCE), announced that Siena College Research Institute would partner with the Swearer Center for the administration and ongoing development of the NASCE. The institutional assessment measures how well participating colleges and universities fulfill their missions as they relate to service and community engagement was co-founded by Levy and Johnson at Siena.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAfter working with Dr. Johnson for nearly a decade to develop and grow the National Assessment of Service and Community Engagement, we, at the Siena College Research Institute, are thrilled to move forward in partnership with the Swearer Center for Public Service and Brown University,\u201d Levy said. \u201cWe look forward to our next steps and hope to truly make a difference in the communities our participating institutions serve across the United States.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Similar to the Carnegie Classification, by becoming an NASCE partner, the Swearer Center will have access to all data from past and future administrations for research use, partner in development of the next version(s) of the study, and build events, research projects, and other field building activities out of the study. The survey has been conducted on more than 85 campuses to date, including Brown University which participated in Fall 2016 and offered the survey to 4,800 undergraduate students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Valerie Holton, Executive Editor of the CUMU-published M<\/em>etropolitan Universities <\/em>journal, announced that the Swearer Center will succeed NERCHE in managing the Ernest A. Lynton Award for the Scholarship of Engagement for Early Career Faculty. The annual national award, named after scholarly engagement pioneer Dr. Ernest A. Lynton, recognizes a faculty member who connects his or her teaching, research, and service to community engagement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCUMU, NERCHE, and others have been greatly influenced and encouraged by Ernest Lynton\u2019s wisdom and expertise,\u201d Holton said. \u201cThe Lynton Award and the journal are a partnership \u2014 each year we invite the recipient to submit a manuscript relating to their engagement work. Their presence at the annual CUMU conference affirms the mission of the organization and encourages members to continue pursuing innovative practices in teaching, learning, research and partnerships.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe look forward to continuing to honor Dr. Lynton and encourage early career faculty through this collaboration with the Swearer Center,\u201d Holton added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

John Saltmarsh, who stepped out of his role as the director of NERCHE on Dec. 31, 2016 to focus on full-time teaching in the higher education doctoral program within the College of Education and Human Development (CEHD) at UMass Boston, is pleased to know that Brown will become the next home of the Carnegie Classification and the Lynton Award.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt was a pleasure working with the Carnegie Foundation and with CUMU as a host and administrator in my role at NERCHE,\u201d Saltmarsh said. \u201cI have the utmost confidence that Brown\u2019s Swearer Center, which is forging ahead in its mission to advance the field of community engagement, is the ideal successor for the Classification and the Lynton Award.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Representatives from each of the Initiative partner organizations signed a certificate at the event, designating the formal establishment of the partnerships. Reception speakers included Brown administrators, President Christina Paxson, Dean of the College Maud Mandel, and Associate Dean of Engaged Scholarship and Swearer Center Director Mathew Johnson. Representatives and speakers from partner organizations included Anthony S. Bryk, President of the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, Donald Levy, Director of the National Assessment of Service and Community Engagement and Director of the the Siena College Research Institute, and Valerie Holton, Executive Editor of Metropolitan Universities<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
