This work describes engaged scholarship and shares guidelines for documenting student engagement and critical reflection across the higher education curriculum. Insights and recommendations are based on 8 years of engaged scholarship efforts at a Hispanic Serving Institution serving students and community on the U.S.-Mexico border.
