Community Engagement Outcomes and Measurements
Posted by HE-SL Listserv on August 11, 2026
The following questions were posed on the Higher Education – Service Learning (HE-SL) listserv:
-
Has anyone put together a review/compilation of recent research on outcomes of student community engagement?
-
Are there any exemplary measurements of these outcomes?
Here are the responses:
The 2022 American Association of Colleges and Universities (AAC&U) report: The Effects of Community-Based and Civic Engagement in Higher Education: What We Know and Questions that Remain
Campus Compact report: Pathways of Public Service & Civic Engagement
The Hoover Institute is working on an educator version of the Civic Profile, which will include a pre/post option as well as additional modularity, and should be available this fall.
