The Scholarship of Engagement
A faculty member who participates in the scholarship
of engagement partners with a community to identify a community need. The faculty member then works with the community to
design and implement a research-supported outreach program or activity to address the need. In most cases, the community benefits
from:
- Inclusion of undergraduate, professional, and graduate student time and intellectual resources, and
- Collaborations by faculty members from multiple disciplines and units in addressing the community need.
Lessons learned from the community partnership and the outreach project inform the faculty member's research, teaching,
and other outreach endeavors, and enhance student learning experiences. Outreach projects can include service-learning projects
by UGA students; community-based participatory research, applied research, and policy analysis; technical assistance; and
program development and delivery.
International Scholarship of Engagement Grants
A faculty member who participates in the international
scholarship of engagement seeks to stimulate the internationalization of UGA and the state of Georgia by initiating a promising
new public service and outreach-oriented international project. In keeping with UGA's strategic plan, proposed projects should
develop new, or substantially build on existing, international projects or programs that:
- Better prepare UGA faculty, staff, and students to compete in a global society; and
- Empower Georgia's communities and businesses to prosper in our rapidly changing global society.
Specifically, the International Scholarship of Engagement Grants support activities that catalyze global programs for students
to gain practical experience through service-learning projects that empower communities and build human capacity, both internationally
and in Georgia. Participants may also choose to use grants in order to further the development of international technical
assistance, community-based participatory research, applied research, and policy analysis projects that address a pressing
global challenge, international symposia, conferences, or seminars that address timely issues of global significance, and/
or international program development, including linkages with foreign universities, that has potential for long-term benefits
to communities in Georgia and abroad. The International Scholarship of Engagement Grants only support projects that take place
in the regions of Africa, China and Southeast Asia, or Latin America (Central and South America, Mexico).
Please note that the 2008-2009 International Scholarship of Engagement Grants represent the program formerly known as
the International Development Education Awards (IDEAS).
Eligibility and Nature of Awards
The Vice President for Public Service and Outreach's

and to public service faculty and staff who would like to initiate new international outreach programming that complements
their current work. Proposed projects are submitted to the Office of International Public Service and Outreach with the support

Institute for the Study of the Ancient World to Be Created at NYU with $200 Million Gift
New York University President John Sexton and Shelby White, trustee of the Leon Levy Foundation, today jointly announced
the creation at NYU of a unique institute for multidisciplinary study of the ancient world that will be funded by the Foundation
with a gift of up to $200 million. The Institute for the Study of the Ancient World will be a graduate research and Ph.D.
degree-granting center with its own faculty and a roster of postdoctoral scholars and research fellows whose study of antiquity
will cross traditional geographic and cultural boundaries.
As part of its mission, the Institute will have an extensive program of colloquia, lectures, and exhibitions that will
be open to the public; it will also acquire and maintain an extensive library dedicated to the ancient world.
The Institute will be housed in a magnificent 100-year-old, 27,000 sq. foot, six-story townhouse at 15 East 84th Street
that the Leon Levy Foundation purchased in 2004. It is now being renovated by the well-known architect Annabelle Selldorf.
The decision to establish the Institute at NYU comes six years after Leon Levy, a renowned investor who died in 2003, and
his wife, Ms. White – who both devoted time and effort to learning about the ancient world – assembled an advisory
board of scholars to consider ways to advance the understanding of the ancient world and to encourage the next generation
of leading scholars. The discussions of the advisory board, which continued for five years, ultimately led to talks between
the Foundation and NYU, with which Mr. Levy had a long relationship through the Institute of Fine Arts (NYU’s renowned
graduate program in art history and conservation), where he had been vice chairman of the IFA and chairman of its investment
committee.
The creation of the Institute by the Leon Levy Foundation continues a long tradition of philanthropy related to archaeology
and advanced study that Mr. Levy supported during his lifetime. The efforts he supported include the Shelby White-Leon Levy
Program for Archaeological Publications at Harvard, which for 12 years has given grants to archaeologists so they may publish
their field research; the excavations at the ancient site of Ashkelon in Israel, which began in 1985; and the Shelby White
– Leon Levy Travel Grant program for students at the NYU Institute of Fine Arts.
The Institute for the Study of the Ancient World will have a wider geographic span than other programs that focus on the
ancient world, incorporating not only Europe and the entire Mediterranean basin, but also Central and East Asia. In its research
and its teaching of doctoral students, the Institute will emphasize an interdisciplinary approach, one that transcends modern
boundaries of nation. It will support scholarship that crosses customary disciplinary boundaries – art history, literature,
archaeology, history, geography, geology, economics, and sociology, among others – to create a new intellectual framework
for understanding the ancient world, and to train a new generation of scholars steeped in that integrated approach.
Ms. White said, “As an investor, Leon took a long term approach – his knowledge of antiquity, Gibbon was his
favorite author, gave him perspective, and he believed that studying the past could enrich our lives and help us contribute
to society.”
Dr. Sexton said, “I am struck by what an extraordinarily good fit this gift is for NYU. The study of antiquity is
one of the truly fundamental elements of a classical education. But the Institute’s emphasis on interdisciplinary study
and on developing a new intellectual approach to the ancient world is precisely the kind of new and forward-looking scholarship
for which NYU is justly renowned. It will chart a new course in the study of the ancient world, and alongside existing scholarship
being pursued across NYU, it will contribute powerfully to the scholarly dialogue on antiquity.”
The Institute will begin its work as soon as a director is chosen. A search committee to recruit the director will be established
this spring. The first Ph.D. students are expected to enter the institute in fall, 2008.
The Institute for the Study of the Ancient World will have a structure within NYU similar to that of the Courant Institute
for Mathematical Studies and the Institute of Fine Arts. The director and the faculty of the institute will be members of
the NYU faculty and receive tenure in accordance with existing University processes. Students will receive their degrees through
NYU’s Graduate School of Arts and Science.
The late Mr. Levy and Ms. White, who over a 30-year period assembled a collection of ancient art, have a substantial history
of philanthropy, which includes – in addition to the programs cited above – gifts to establish the Levy Economics
Institute of Bard College; to the Metropolitan Museum of Art for conservation and to create the soon-to-open galleries for
Roman, Etruscan, and Hellenistic Art; and to support neuroscience research at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton
and Rockefeller University, among other institutions and projects.
