The Community Engagement Faculty Scholar, established in Fall 2008, serves two primary roles: as a liaison between the Community Engagement Center and campus community to advocate and advance the institutionalization of community engagement; and to mentor faculty in the development and scholarship of engagement.
As a community engagement faculty mentor, the Scholar advises faculty in engagement and community-based participatory research, assessment, university/community service, scholarship, and teaching. In addition, the Scholar develops and, as necessary, facilitates workshops and other forms of professional development to advance faculty knowledge, involvement and expertise in community engagement.
As a community engagement liaison, in part, the Scholar works directly with Community Engagement Center on initiatives; serves on the Community Engagement Center Advisory Committee; compiles resources on integrating community engagement work into teaching, scholarship, and service; and develops resources and identifies opportunities for funding, assessment, and community engagement focused community-based participatory research.
Generally, the incumbent, who must currently be a full-time faculty member at California State University, Sacramento, has demonstrated success in developing and implementing service learning and community engagement, a proven record of community-based participatory research and scholarship, experience working collaboratively, and has a comprehensive and detailed knowledge of University infrastructure policies and procedures. The Community Engagement Faculty Scholar appointment is a 9 unit per semester, annually renewable assigned-time position in the Community Engagement Center with work requirements during the academic year.
