“Universities face high expectations from the<br />
societies of which they are part. They will be<br />
judged, and learn to judge themselves, by the<br />
variety and vitality of their interactions with<br />
society. Those interactions, and the<br />
university decision-making to foster them,<br />
are what we term “engagement”. Twenty-first<br />
century academic life is no longer pursued in<br />
seclusion (if it ever was) but rather must<br />
champion reason and imagination in<br />
engagement with the wider society and its<br />
concerns.”<br />
(Association of Commonwealth Universities, 2001, p.i)<br />

<strong>Engage</strong>ment<br />
“the lack of support across national and<br />
institutional systems, a gap between<br />
strategic plans and operational systems,<br />
lack of funding streams and promotional<br />
recognition and lack of capacity building<br />
to develop qualities essential for<br />
engagement.”<br />

Service vs. <strong>Engage</strong>ment<br />
“Service” as the third mission of the<br />
university focuses on an act of helpful<br />
activity; help; aid: to do someone a<br />
service, what is involved in<br />
volunteerism and this is extremely<br />
valuable for ensuring that we give with<br />
our hearts, hands and minds back to<br />
society.<br />

Service vs. <strong>Engage</strong>ment<br />
The term 'Service' is not broad<br />
enough to sufficiently encompass and<br />
capture the diverse range of activities<br />
and initiatives which involve<br />
engagement with industry and<br />
communities which encompasses the<br />
richness of knowledge exchange,<br />
carried out with various multi-sectoral<br />
partners in mutually beneficial ways.<br />

The main thrust of this portfolio is to lead<br />
in the development and application of<br />
multi-stakeholder collaboration and “to<br />
exercise stewardship to coordinate and<br />
handle actors and interactions not under<br />
their full control but critical to the<br />
performance of the sector.”<br />

“The definition of engagement<br />
implies purposive, considerate and<br />
productive interaction with both<br />
internal (academics, students and<br />
administrative staff) and external<br />
stakeholders (industry,<br />
government agencies, NGOs and<br />
communities) for the<br />
establishment of mutually<br />
beneficial partnerships. This will<br />
involve working together with<br />
shared understanding to develop<br />
shared solutions, through shared<br />
governance and shared assets,<br />
with the ultimate aim of gaining<br />
shared advantages for all<br />
stakeholders.<br />
All of these engagement initiatives<br />
aim to enhance and enrich the<br />
central roles of the university –<br />
education, research and service.”<br />
