The CEC is the web that interweaves professors, students, and local organizations to create community-based research and experiential education. 

500+ Students Engaged in Service a Year

Each student does a minimum of 40 hours of community engagement per semester.

The Community Engagement Center (CEC) connects students and faculty with local organizations to support:

  • Community-Based Research
  • Service Learning
  • Experiential Education

The CEC liaises between ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½ and community partners. These partnerships work to enhance communities’ social, environmental, cultural, and economic health.

The CEC provides internship opportunities and financial and program support. We also support logistics for students, faculty, staff, and community partners.
