致力于与社会相结合的大学：重新定义美国农林学院的学术重点
摘要：中美两国对国家大学及学院制度发展的高投入是令世界羡慕的。两个国家的高等教育已经充分说明了高等教育对国家和国际的经济和社会做出了贡献。然而，在美国一个正在引起公众关注的问题是我们的大学对城乡社区所面临迫切的经济、社会和环境问题时的反应是什么。这篇论文报道了国家Kellogg委员会的结果，他们建议将公众大学转向到与社会相结合的机构，也就是将涉及到社区的教学、研究和服务功能变得更加人性化和富有成果。这篇论文进一步描写了我们西维吉尼亚大学戴维斯农林及消费者学院与社区相结合的一定数量的实验性项目，包括社区设计队、河流、道路、保护区辅助项目，职业实习和服务培训项目。合同的学问对我们大学和学院提出了挑战，要求我们去接受学问的扩展范围，也就是明白学问也包括对当今社会、城市、经济和道德等迫切问题的追求。
The Engaged University: Re-defining Academic Priorities in Colleges of Agriculture and Forestry
Abstract:The United States and China have invested heavily to develop a national system of universities and colleges that are the envy of the world. Higher education in both countries has an illustrious history of contributing to economic and social progress nationally and internationally. However, in the United States, there is rising public concern about the responsiveness of our public universities to the pressing economic, social, and environmental problems faced by our urban and rural communities. This paper reports on the outcomes of a national Kellogg Commission recommending to return public universities to “engaged” institutions that have, “redesigned their teaching, research, and service functions to become more sympathetically and productively involved with their communities.” The paper proceeds to describe a number of experimental community engagement programs within our Davis College of Agriculture, Forestry, and Consumer Sciences at West Virginia University. These engagement programs include a Community Design Team, the Rivers, Trails, and Conservation Assistance Program, professional internships, and service learning programs. The scholarship of engagement challenges us as university faculty to embrace an expanded view of scholarship—one that sees scholarship within the frame of searching for answers to the most pressing social, civic, economic, and moral problems of the day.
