Thirty-five American academics contribute 16 chapters offering academic leaders a resource to increase their fluency with and ability to lead service-learning and civic engagement efforts on their campuses, with their peers, and throughout U.S. higher education. A selection of essays covering key issues is followed by 11 case studies from a wide variety of institutions that have significantly embraced service-learning and/or civic engagement as central to advancing their institutional missions; many have also used service-learning and civic engagement to address larger institutional concerns such as bridging academic and student affairs, enhancing community relations, promoting multiculturalism, and increasing student retention. For academic leaders such as chief academic officers, provosts, deans, and division and department chairs, who have significant responsibility for their campus' academic programs.
