Community Engagement Best Practices Across the Disciplines : Applying Course Content to Community Needs
This book is a reference to administrators and educators at institutions of higher learning who are thinking about taking serious steps to link their educational mission to helping their surrounding communities.

Multiple departments from Art to Statistics, as well as various types of classes (undergraduate, graduate, online, face-to-face) are represented here. If you are not sure how to integrate community engagement in classes at your university, this book is for you.
