In 2002, the American Association of State Colleges and Universities (AASCU) defined what it means to be a regional comprehensive university (RCU) in its landmark report "Stepping Forward as Stewards of Place: A Guide for Leading Public Engagement at State Colleges and Universities," which articulated an institutional purpose that is at once place-based and oriented toward serving multiple communities whose lives are enhanced by postsecondary education. It is now 2022 and the challenges facing RCUs have not drastically changed in the last two decades--resource disparities, enrollment fluctuations, balancing competing priorities while engaging place, and public skepticism over the value of higher education remain important issues. Nevertheless, some challenges have intensified and the broader economic, social, demographic, and political forces shaping institutions and their communities have evolved. As a result, stewardship of place in 2022 must look different than it did in 2002. "Recommitting to Stewardship of Place: Creating and Sustaining Thriving Communities for the Decades Ahead" provides an updated framing for stewardship of place that acknowledges the new postsecondary landscape while demonstrating why recommitting to being a steward of place is more important now than ever. The report begins by reviewing and celebrating the earlier iterations of stewardship of place to situate the current report within 20 years of public engagement and thought. The report also contextualizes stewardship of place by describing some of the most important trend lines in postsecondary education, grouped into three broad themes: equity and upward mobility, resources and resilience, and regional prosperity and civic health. The report then articulates the eight principles of stewardship of place, which can serve as a guide and ballast for AASCU institutions when meeting future challenges and opportunities. These principles comprise the philosophical underpinnings of stewardship of place. The report concludes by envisioning a future for RCUs that deepens and expands the principles of stewardship of place to ensure institutional and regional sustainability.
