Rethinking the "Apprenticeship of Liberty": The Case for Academic Programs in Community Engagement in Higher Education
Butin, Dan W.
Journal of College and Character, v13 n1 Feb 2012
This article articulates a model for the "engaged campus" through academic programs focused on community engagement, broadly construed. Such academic programs--usually coalesced in certificate programs, minors, and majors--provide a complementary vision for the deep institutionalization of civic and community engagement in the academy that can revitalize an "apprenticeship of liberty" for students, faculty, and academic staff.
