Student success is at the center of successful regional engagement. Thus, the relationship between institutional outreach through the American Association of State Colleges and Universities (AASCU) "stewards of place" paradigm and meaningful student participation in the effort is fundamental to the success of regional engagement. The chapters in this book focus on workforce development, technology transfer, and development of new businesses, providing examples of successful initiatives, ideas for overcoming potential challenges, possible measures of success, and other resources for leaders looking to enhance their institutions' efforts in these areas. The authors also point out that to stay true to their calling to be "stewards of place," AASCU institutions must also focus on community and social development and understand that success requires careful attention to institutional cultures--developing students, faculty, and staff and creating structures and policies appropriate to their local environments.
