Abstract	Outreach and engagement initiatives are crucial in promoting community development. This can be achieved through a number of methods, including institutions of higher education. "Changing Urban Landscapes through Public Higher Education" is a critical scholarly resource that examines the unique ways in which the faculty and students of the public institution of higher learning, in and for the nation's capital, connect to the community. Featuring coverage on a broad range of topics such as civic engagement, service learning, and teacher preparation, this book is geared towards educators, administration, academicians, researchers, and students seeking current research on collaborative efforts between communities and institutions of higher education. Chapters include: (1) English at Your Service: Community-Based Learning in an Undergraduate Program (Helene Krauthamer and Matthew Petti); (2) Service Learning as an Approach to Combatting the Triad of Interrelated Diseases in the District of Columbia (Anne Marie Jean-Baptiste and Elmira T. Asongwed); (3) Empowering DC's Future Through Information Access (Christopher T. Anglim and Faith Rusk); (4) Project EXCEL: A Teacher Education Partnership for Culturally and Linguistically Diverse Communities (Annette Deborah Miles and Ebony Terrell Shockley); (5) The Science Behind Support: Preparing Science Teachers for Urban Classrooms (Danielle L.
