Extending learning and service beyond the University
The Office of Community Engagement develop events and build partnerships that connect the University to the world through expertise and service. Our programs and partnerships bring people together and strengthen the ties between 51情报站 and the communities we serve. In recognition of our work to share knowledge and resources beyond the campus, The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching has recognized 51情报站 with its selective Community Engagement Classification. We are always on the lookout for new connections and new opportunities for collaboration. Let's talk!
The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, describes community engagement as "the collaboration between institutions of higher education and their larger communities (local, regional/state, national, global) for the mutually beneficial exchange of knowledge and resources in a context of partnership and reciprocity."
