Furco will look at examples from around the country and explore the policies, infrastructure, culture, leadership and practices that have demonstrated success in securing an institution’s status as a fully engaged university, with specific advice and considerations for UW-Madison.

This interactive session should help instructors, administrators, students, or community members examine the critical elements for building an “Engaged University”.

Dr. Andrew Furco’s Work

His research and publications explore the impact, implementation and institutionalization of community engagement in higher education in the United States and abroad. Dr. Furco’s publications include over 80 articles, several books and many speaking engagements.

A member of the national Academy of Community Engagement Scholarship, he is the co-chair of the National Forum for Chief Engagement and Outreach Administrators and serves on boards including the Commission on Economic and Community Engagement for the Association of Public and Land-Grant Universities (APLU).

Previously, he served on the faculty of the Graduate School of Education at the University of California-Berkeley, where he directed the University’s Service-Learning Research and Development Center.

Wisconsin Idea

  • “The least commendable purpose of acquiring knowledge…is to apply it to one’s own advancement – to achieve worldly success. A higher purpose is to fit one to live the intellectual life…A third and the highest purpose of acquiring knowledge is to use it for the benefit of mankind.” — Former UW President Charles Van Hise
