The Outreach Scholarship and Magrath University Community Engagement awards recognize four-year public universities that have redesigned their learning, discovery and engagement functions to become productively involved with their communities. The Magrath Award is named for C. Peter Magrath, president of NASULGC, now APLU, from 1992-2005. Magrath was a leading advocate for public universities embracing the concept of outreach and community engagement.
