This book brings together a range of perspectives to deepen our understanding of students’ interests, motivations, and approaches to social change. At its core is the Pathways framework—a tool designed to help educators better understand and support students’ evolving civic identities and engagement strategies. Accompanied by a student survey, the framework offers a practical means to improve program design, respond to shifting student needs, and establish a shared language across the field of higher education civic and community engagement.
The book is organized into three sections. The first, Pathways Practitioner Profiles, introduces the core knowledge, skills, and dispositions associated with each of the six social impact Pathways. The second section presents case studies from eight institutions that have adopted the Pathways in distinct and innovative ways. The final section offers theoretical, empirical, and critical reflections on the framework’s potential to enhance the quality, diversity, and coherence of civic and community engagement programs in higher education.
Designed for faculty, student affairs professionals, and students alike, this volume provides a rich set of insights and tools for advancing high-quality, equity-centered learning experiences. It is an essential resource for anyone interested in student development, civic engagement, and social impact.
