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 ?

CE / SoE for SI Leadership Messages Rector & Vice-Chancellor DVC - Academic Prof R Balfour Prof M Ralarala ex-Director: CEU Prof P Daniels Read / Listen Read / Listen 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).
