“…The literature indicates that institutional context affects what types of engagement faculty members choose, how they integrate engagement into teaching and research roles, and how they are rewarded and encouraged (Bloomgarden and O'Meara 2007;Driscoll and Lynton 1999;Holland 1999;O'Meara 2002O'Meara , 2004Peters et al 2005; Thornton and Jaeger 2008;Ward 2003). For example, Vogelgesang et al (2010) analyzed the responses of faculty members who participated in the 2004-2005 Higher Education Research Institute faculty members survey.…”

Community engagement is one of the major innovations that has occurred in higher education over the last 20 years. At the center of this innovation are faculty members because of their intimate ties to the academic mission. This article examines the progress that has been made in understanding this critical area of faculty work. It builds on past research to consider Innov High Educ (2011) 36:83-96

“…Although colleges have long attempted to promote civic-mindedness among students (Bowen 1977;Brubacher and Rudy 1976), recently there have been strong calls for a return and rededication to this mission (Jacoby and Associates 2009;Thornton and Jaeger 2008;Colby et al 2003;Putnam 1995). Despite the significant attention given this issue by researchers, no strong consensus on the role of college in promoting such values has emerged.…”

Even though colleges have long attempted to promote civic-mindedness among students, recently there have been strong calls for a return and rededication to this mission. Given the many social and political changes that have occurred since Pascarella et al. (J High Educ 59(4):412-437, 1988) in Higher education: Handbook of theory and research, study, the purpose of the present investigation was to extend their established line of inquiry by examining college's influence on the civic values held by a more recent cohort of students. Using hierarchical linear modeling, we analyzed a sample obtained from the Cooperative Institutional Research Program, a nationally representative panel study of college students administered by the Higher Education Research Institute at the University of California, Los Angeles, which sample includes 12,738 undergraduate students from 106 four-year universities. Our findings mostly confirmed our theoretic conceptualization of collegiate influences on the civic values of students. As expected, those values were positively associated with students' involvement in diverse activities. Institutional impacts, however, disappeared, except for structural diversity. University administrators and educators might find these results informative when developing institutional policies and practices to prepare students for good citizenship in the global society.

“…In this study, Thornton and Jaeger (2008) provided comparisons between the two identified research institutions and indicated that a "clear connection between culture and ideology can be noted" (p. 170) in these institutions. The authors described this as a multisite study, which is difficult to understand as only two sites are identified.…”

“…Using their previous study as a foundation, the authors expanded their research to include another research institution. Again, using Swindler's framework, Thornton and Jaeger (2008) focused on the enculturation of individuals in higher education through the socialization process and interactions. A qualitative method was identified with an "ethnographically-informed approach to account for modification of methods and practice of an ethnographic study" (Thornton & Jaeger, 2008, p. 166).…”
