Community Engagement Center (CEC)
The Community Engagement Center (CEC) is the web that interweaves faculty, students, and local organizations to create community-based research and experiential education.
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 Â鶹Դ´ 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.
