The Engaged Institution

Planning Framework for LINC #5

Evergreen State University
Olympia, Washington
July 26 - 28, 1999
On April 12, in a collective conversation of LINC Project Convenors, and/or their representatives and Change Agent colleagues, and WorkSpan, the decision was made to begin making explicit the alignment between the LINC Leadership workshop series and the Kellogg Commission on the Future of State and Land-Grant Universities.

The Commission's third report "Returning to Our Roots: The Engaged Institution" suggested an over-arching theme for LINC Workshop #5 and offers a line of inquiry concerning leadership's role - and the kind of leadership necessary -to redesign "teaching, research, and extension and service functions that are sympathetically and productively involved with the communities universities serve, however community is defined." (chapter 2 - page 11, http://www.nasulgc.org/Kellogg/engage.pdf)
