Abstract
Researchers have clearly linked higher-education attainment to increased civic engagement, but aspects of higher education that contribute to this phenomenon have not been fully explored. This study examines the relationship between the emphasis that faculty members and institutions place on civic engagement and students’ actual civic engagement and civic outcomes. Analyses are based on data from the National Survey of Student Engagement and the Faculty Study of Student Engagement. The findings show that both faculty emphasis on civic engagement and institutional emphasis on civic engagement are positively associated with students' civic engagement and civic outcomes. Institutions and faculty members need to be aware of their potential influence on students’ civic engagement and civic outcomes, and take steps to leverage that potential to support the civic mission of higher education.
