It describes the state of the art of education for civic engagement and provides guidelines for designing programs that encourage desired learning outcomes. In addition, the book guides leaders in organizing their institutions to create a campus-wide culture of civic engagement. \u003cp\u003eForeword v\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePreface ix\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAcknowledgments xiii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Authors xv\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIntroduction 1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1 Civic Engagement in Today’s Higher Education: An Overview 5\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBarbara Jacoby\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2 What We Know about Civic Engagement among College Students 31\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eMark Hugo Lopez and Abby Kiesa\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3 Educating Students for Personal and Social Responsibility: The Civic Learning Spiral 49\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eCaryn McTighe Musil\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4 Civic Engagement in the First College Year 69\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eMary Stuart Hunter and Blaire L.
