Community Engagement and Partnerships

Our Goal

Through its community engagement and outreach efforts, the College of Liberal Arts strives to strengthen community partnerships by establishing relationships and facilitating interactions to make valuable contributions to the community in teaching, research and service.

Faculty and professional staff from the College of Liberal Arts apply their time and talent to addressing the needs and objectives of the community-at-large. They have collaborated with local organizations on research, presentations, seminars, training and workshops as requested on varying topics as well as other special events.
