Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) has undertaken numerous
initiatives over the past fifteen years that have contributed to the development,
clarification, and increased understanding of civic engagement and its related
components. This case study demonstrates how advancing the public purposes of
higher education requires the commitment, persistence, vision, and good judgment of
many, but in particular the Chief Academic Officer, who assumes pivotal responsibility
for civic engagement as a fundamental aspect of faculty work and student learning.
