The Office of Engaged Learning:

  • Facilitates the Engaged Learning project.

  • Connects students with project ideas to faculty and staff who serve as mentors, to campus programs and courses with student engagement opportunities, and to community partners willing to host student projects.

  • Acts as the clearinghouse for information about student engagement beyond the classroom.


The Engaged Learning Project

Engaged Learning takes learning to the ultimate level through student-driven, goal-oriented projects anywhere in the world.

Students' projects include undergraduate research and community service. Students also engage in internships and creative activities.
