Abstract
Student community engagement and service learning in the research university setting represent familiar and yet under-documented concepts in higher education. With little known about the rates in which students in the research university engage, student affairs educators and administrators sometimes fail to espouse the value these forms of service offer students. Using data from the Student Experience in the Research University (SERU) survey, along with institutional examples of high-performing research university community engagement programs, this chapter intends to promote the comprehensive implementation of student community engagement at a research university.
