Abstract
This chapter reprises an address to the 9th International Workshop on Higher Education Reform, held at the University of Pittsburgh on 10–12 October 2012. Since the address was billed as a keynote, readers might reasonably expect a discourse on expanding the university’s core mission: incorporating engagement either as a stand-alone function or as an increasingly critical contribution to the typical mission categories of research, instruction, and public service.
