Community Engagement integrates service to the greater community with classroom instruction, connects service to academic content, and encourages personal reflection. Community Engagement also supports a number of programs allowing students, faculty, staff, alumni, and other ÓéÀÖ³Ô¹Ï community members to perform meaningful service throughout the local and global community.
The purpose of Community Engagement:
To provide ÓéÀÖ³Ô¹Ï students with an opportunity to make the community their classroom.
To transform and expand our students' understanding of their role in the community.
To encourage civic engagement and responsibility among the ÓéÀÖ³Ô¹Ï community.

““Serving the community isn't about the hours or the resume, not even the reputation you build from it. Serving is about building trust, creating connections, constructing paths that lead to a better tomorrow,--but most importantly, it's about learning and growth. During my experiences, I've grown through the sweat of the labor and learned to heal through the tenderhearted conversations.”
– Reginald A. Porter II '21
