Community Engagement

Our Mission

Our collective work is grounded in concepts of equity and justice, and we recognize the inherent dignity and worth of all individuals who constitute our intertwined communities. We value deep partnership with community organizations/schools and members and envision our work as co-created with multiple constituencies.

With philosophical rooting in concepts of equity and justice, the Office of Community Engagement engages students, employees and local communities through partnerships intended to catalyze personal, institutional, and community change.

Logo In their words, Summer 2020

When it comes to asking questions, my summer internship was a lesson in self-accountability and self-assurance.

I learned the necessity of detailed planning, constantly being aware of my goals, intentions, and priority while learning to adapt everyone’s vision.

I learned to not give into frustration when circumstances change but adapt. I have opportunities to change the way I do things, maybe for the better.
