In this workshop, Dr. Doberneck will provide examples of guidelines and policies that specifically recognize engaged scholarship and a toolkit to help committees and academic leaders evaluate engage scholarship in the files they review. Participants should bring their current RPT policies and any evaluation criteria/rubrics used by review committees. The workshop will include time for participants to identify areas of improvement in policies and procedures and develop an action plan to move forward with desired change.

Doberneck consults with colleges and universities across the country on institutional change supportive of community engagement; revisions to reappointment, promotion, and tenure policies to support community engagement; publishing community-engaged scholarship; graduate education, and professional development for community engagement. She chairs the nationally competitive Emerging Engagement Scholars Workshop, speaks regularly at the Pen to Paper Academic Writing Retreat, is currently a Campus Compact Fellow writing the introductory module for the Community Engagement Competency Program, and has recently concluded a co-editorship of a special issue of the Journal of Higher Education Outreach and Engagement.

This event is sponsored by the Change Lab, Office of Engagement, and the Center for Faculty Excellence.

**Individual consultations with Dr. Doberneck will be available from 10:45 to 11:30 and 2:45 to 4:00.
