Abstract
This document was written specifically, though not exclusively, for early career faculty members doing (or would like to be doing) faculty work in collaboration with off-campus community partners. The document may also be helpful to faculty members at other career stages who are beginning to undertake community-engaged work and administrators seeking to support their faculty. This is the information we wish we had at the start of our careers. We, the five co-authors of this paper, are tenured community-engaged faculty members and seasoned higher education administrators specializing in civic and community-engaged academic practices. Based on our literature review and collective lived experiences, we have focused this paper on three topics we believe are critical for early career community-engaged faculty members to understand more deeply. These three topics include developing your identity statement, finding your mentors, and documenting your scholarship.
