University Outreach at Michigan State University: Extending Knowledge to Serve Society (1993)
The Provost's Committee on University Outreach
This landmark report articulates an intellectual foundation for outreach and makes recommendations for further strengthening university outreach at Michigan State University. The report consists of two major sections: Defining Dimensions of University Outreach and Strategic Directions for Strengthening University Outreach at Michigan State University. The Defining Dimensions section establishes the conceptual foundation of the faculty's Committee's thinking; the Strategic Directions discussion addresses the leadership required for maintaining outreach excellence at MSU. The Preface includes an overview of the history and status of outreach at Michigan State with emphasis on describing the effort over the past decade to create a new model for outreach. A postscript briefly discusses The Twenty-first Century University and Outreach.
