Office of Global and Community Engagement

We serve in three simple ways: we link partners, we gather voices, and we open doors. We are:

• Connectors: We bring campus strengths into partnership with community priorities and global allies.
• Conveners: We provide spaces where every voice is heard and every partner is respected.
• Creators: We design learning opportunities that fuel career advancement and personal growth—so each person leaves stronger and returns home to inspire others to reach beyond what they thought possible.

Fostering Partnerships for Change

We begin by listening. We build relationships with community partners—and with philanthropies, government, industry, and peer institutions—aligning goals and co-designing work that serves both our learners and the communities they serve. We open pathways for shared projects, visiting scholars, and virtual exchange so ideas and opportunities move freely. We lower barriers to access, support learners from success, and link real-world projects and micro-credentials to foster career mobility and meet community needs. We elevate and celebrate the impact of our students, alumni, faculty, staff, and research centers—because their example calls others to act.

Supporting Success for All

We contribute to a campus culture that is supportive and responsive to students’ needs and aspirations. We weave civic responsibility into learning and engagement so that service, dialogue, and shared problem-solving become part of coursework and co-curricular life—until leadership becomes a daily habit for all.
