Digging Deeper: Engaged Scholarship
Engaged scholarship encompasses a full range of out-of-classroom experiences— from study abroad to service learning to community-based research.

And what does it mean for students, faculty, and the community at large?
Join Penn State President Eric Barron and guests Jonathan Alger, president of James Madison University, and Timothy Sands, president of Virginia Tech, as they discuss how this so-called Engaged Scholarship is evolving.
