Document Summary
Many campuses operate via traditional forms of student engagement, with narrow visions of the dynamic needs and assets of students. Developing a nuanced, specific understanding of community-based needs and assets is essential. Having broad knowledge about minority communities is not enough. Students must have subcomunities and be able to identify with people like themselves to feel comfortable becoming involved in the larger campus community. Vision: transforming today"s campuses into involving colleges for all students. Understanding the landscape and significance of engagement: student engagement is characterized as participation in educationally effective practices, in and outside the classroom, which leads to measurable outcomes. Strategizing ways to increase the engagement of various student populations, especially those for whom engagement is known to be problematic, is a worthwhile endeavor. Engagement and student outcomes: countless cultural and contextual obstacles exist on the path of students being able to fully engage with all the campus offerings.
