BOZEMAN –
Montana State University has once again received recognition for its
outstanding community engagement efforts, university officials announced Jan.
31.
MSU is one
of 119 U.S. colleges and universities to receive the Carnegie Community
Engagement Classification, an elective designation that indicates institutional
commitment to community engagement by the Carnegie Foundation for the
Advancement of Teaching. The classification brings national recognition to
MSU’s commitment to engaging with external partners in all aspects of teaching,
research and service in order to benefit the public, said MSU President Waded
Cruzado. MSU first received the classification in 2010.
To be
selected for the 2020 Carnegie classification, MSU submitted an extensive
application last year that provided descriptions and examples of community
engagement practices that are ingrained in MSU’s institutional culture and
which align with the university’s mission, identity and work.
