Operationalizing Stewards of Place: Implementing Regional Engagement and Economic Development Strategies, the third monograph in AASCU’s Stewardship of Place series, highlights real-world case studies and best practices drawn from regional comprehensive universities. Beginning with a president’s perspective about regional engagement, this monograph addresses themes such as integrating faculty and student research activity and academic curricula with community priorities and workforce needs, and creating successful public-private partnerships. Also included is an international perspective on regional engagement and advice for developing metrics to capture an institution’s contributions to regional economic prosperity.
