Routledge Community Engagement in Christian Higher Education - Routledge

Originally published as a special issue of Christian Higher Education, this volume explores how faith-based colleges and universities across the US engage with their communities whilst enacting institutional mission. The book showcases diverse forms of community engagement work carried out by Catholic and Protestant higher education institutions, examining how religious mission and identity animate institutional practice. Drawing on perspectives from faculty members, administrators, and community partners at nine different institutions, this Routledge Research in Higher Education volume acknowledges the rise of community engagement as a contemporary expression of a longstanding civic impulse within religious education. It provides valuable insights for higher education professionals seeking to understand how faith-based institutions balance academic excellence with meaningful community contribution and public good.
