What is Community Engagement?

Community Engagement describes 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.

Our Programs

Our programs are designed to provide a synergy that advances dynamic contributions to social and environmental awareness, involvement, and change. They are organized around the three over-lapping, integrated emphases of the Center: student engagement, community partnerships and outreach, and faculty engagement. Each is designed to use our campus and community-based resources to advance the missions of NDNU and the Center.
