Connecting UConn with Communities Near and Far.

globe

The Office of Outreach & Engagement creates and coordinates opportunities that connect UConn’s knowledge, resources, and talent with communities across Connecticut and beyond.

We are guided by the Carnegie Foundation’s definition of community engagement as the collaboration between higher education institutions and their broader communities for the mutual creation and exchange of knowledge in a spirit of partnership and reciprocity.
