The Edith Rathbun Outreach and Engagement Excellence Fund recognizes faculty for exceptional community outreach and for excellence in community-engaged scholarship, whether in research, teaching, or professional service. Engaged scholarship, for this purpose, means that the research, teaching, or professional service is:
• conducted in close partnership with community constituents,
• meets high academic standards, and
• that the outcomes are mutually beneficial to UT and the community.
