Scholarship of Engagement (SoE) for Societal Impact (SI) at the UWC Scholarship of Engagement for Societal Impact (SoE-SI) This Senate-approved framework has been developed as both a guideline and a practical resource that is institutionally specific, nationally applicable, and internationally aligned. As a guideline, it sets out the institutional understanding, commitment, and institutionalization of integrated engaged scholarship. As a practical resource, it provides workable definitions for key concepts relevant to the SoE and principles of CE. It also sets specific institutionalization factor areas against which SoE indicators can be developed to present the SoE metrics in relation to the institution’s contribution to social transformation – locally, nationally, regionally, and internationally.

CE & Scholarship of Engagement for Societal Impact at the UWC About Us Office of the Director: Community Engagement Unit Prof Priscilla Daniels It gives me great pleasure in welcoming you to our Virtual Community Engagement Resource Centre in our efforts to support and enhance a Scholarship of Engagement at the UWC. Today, universities are worldwide expected and required to make a fundamental contribution to the development of civil society and human capital – along with further development of scholarly and academic activity – this is evidential in the three-part legislated role of universities – teaching & learning, research and service of which the latter is often seen as ‘community engagement’ (CE). We trust that you will benefit from this resource centre and hope to see you in person at some of our training and exhibition Events in the near future. We welcome your feedback and look forward in growing this resource centre so that it can provide you with all the resources and tools that you might require for your journey towards 'Excellence in Community Engagement at the UWC ''. Strategic Alignment Our Mission Who we are ? Our Vision What we aspire to be ? The CEU facilitates community engagement opportunities that enhances and promotes the scholarship of engagement through equitable partnership and citizenry to promote sustainable communities.

CE / SoE for SI Leadership Messages ex-Rector & Vice-Chancellor ex-DVC - Academic Prof T Pretorius Prof V Lawack Read / Listen Read / Listen Director: CEU Prof P Daniels Read / Listen The early origins of CE at UWC SoE for Societal Impact Scholarship of Engagement Model The CEU sees CE as an infused addition to the three-part legislated role of HEIs. Thus, CE is the pivotal point that feeds into and from teaching / learning, research and service. Boyer’s (2008) four-model scholarships best describes this pivotal role of CE: Scholarship of Teaching (transmitting, transforming & extending knowledge); Scholarship of Discovery/Inquiry (investigation of new knowledge & contributing to the field – research); Scholarship of Application (applying knowledge in broader context, linking theory and practice – service); and Scholarship of Integration (making connections across disciplines – CE integrated into all forms of scholarship).

Community Liaison at the UWC, support, volunteer, assist, donate, uplift Community Liaison The purpose of community liaison is to facilitate circular and equitable engagement between the university and its different community associates to collectively bring about positive societal/broader impacts. The CEU suggests a Community Engagement (CE) typology which presents the different types of Boyer’s scholarships, engagement, communities and stakeholder partners for each of the respective types. This is so that there is a spectrum though which the different types of engagement, communities and initiatives can be classified and accommodated. Our Community Associates Civil society as a community refers to those citizens/members in a specific community, interest groups, business sector, public sector, private sector as well as NGOs, NPOs and CBOs.
