Community engagement can play a role in helping faculty fulfill research, teaching and scholarship duties. Many universities throughout the country are recognizing the importance of community engagement in the tenure and promotion process by suggesting ways to include this work in faculty portfolios. Here are several resources that document how service can be successfully integrated into the tenure and promotion process.
