regulations excluding them during apartheid. We would have benefited greatly if we had implemented our own GI Bill, post-apartheid.

Boyer (1996) emphasised the following scholarships; scholarship of discovery - pushing back the frontiers of human knowledge; the scholarship of integration which focuses on producing interdisciplinary knowledge; this followed by the scholarship of sharing knowledge as widely as possible. The last of these interlocking scholarships is the scholarship of integration which implies a scholarship of application from theory to practice (Boyer, 1996).

The university embraces various forms of CE which ranges from community based education, interdisciplinary teaching and learning, service learning, problem-based learning, internships, community outreach and volunteerism. For this reason CEU adapted Boyer’s model, as it closely resembled the vision and mission of UWC. Below is an overview of the model.

In recent years, the Faculty has been engaged in concerted efforts to connect its research in humanities and teaching and learning to recognitive justice and public good. As evidence of this critical and giant step, the Faculty has, for example, repositioned itself in respect of its partnership with communities, the extent to which knowledge is generated and shared, and the degree to which local knowledge is valued and considered for integration into specialised knowledge. In essence, the scholarship of engagement has become one of the cornerstones, not only to reinforce the interconnectedness between communities and humanities, but also, in some way, to resuscitate the humanities. Appreciation and cultivation of scholarship around archives and museums, theatre and film are some of the beneficial research and creative outputs and enterprises involving the Faculty in its connectedness with the community.

The following citations from the various faculties are linked to the nine contact points of CE, teaching and learning; research; community engagement; service learning; work-integrated learning; community service; field education; internship; and volunteerism during the years 2015-2019.
