Center for Community Engagement

The Center for Community Engagement promotes experiential learning that bridges academic knowledge with real-world learning. Through community engagement initiatives, service learning courses, and academic internships (CESLI), students gain meaningful hands-on experience that deepens personal, professional, and academic growth. These opportunities prepare students for long-term success in an increasingly diverse and dynamic world—whether through partnerships with local communities to advance social change or through workforce experiences that enhance career development and economic mobility.
