University Outreach and Engagement

The Office of University Outreach and Engagement facilitates university-wide efforts to create an ecosystem of engagement by supporting the engaged activities of faculty, staff, and students; fostering public access to university expertise and resources; and by advocating for exemplary engaged scholarship, nationally and internationally. In all of its work, UOE emphasizes university-community partnerships that are collaborative, participatory, empowering, systemic, transformative, and anchored in scholarship.

This scholarship focus is applied to a broad range of community-defined needs, with special focus on:

• Arts and cultural initiatives
• Children, youth, and families
• Community and economic development
• Health and wellbeing
• Human-technology interaction
• PreK-16 education
• Scholarship of engagement
• Service-learning and civic engagement
