This chapter explores elements that should be included in a servicelearning style internship program in urban community colleges. It provides theoretical background and descriptions of best practices for forming community partnerships, collaboratively developing learning outcomes, and aligning program design with institutional general education proficiencies, with a focus on civic learning. Additionally, it illustrates two examples of these measures being implemented and producing their intended effect.

This chapter describes the growth of contingent research faculty and postdoctoral appointments at research universities and research‐intensive institutions. Literature that addresses the employment and professional environment of these workers is critically explored and a discussion of the implications for academic leaders and institutional researchers is provided in the conclusion.
