Each year, the Provost's Awards for Excellence in Community-Engaged Scholarship (PAECES) recognize the outstanding contributions of faculty, staff, students, teams, and community partners who collaboratively address critical societal challenges through the creative and reciprocal exchange of knowledge and resources.
As a cornerstone of a land-grant university's mission, Community-Engaged Scholarship enriches research, teaching, and learning; fosters inclusive and transformative educational experiences; prepares engaged citizens; and promotes social justice, civic responsibility, and the public good.
