The Office of Community Engagement and Civic Learning (CECIL) develops strategies to help our students, faculty, and partners collaborate on positive social change in their communities.
By embedding community and civic engagement into academic and co-curricular experiences, we will equip students with the knowledge, skills, and attitudes to understand themselves as agents of change and work collaboratively on issues that matter most to them.
CECiL creates, enhances, and coordinates partnerships for the mutually beneficial exchange of knowledge, resources & service.
