A partner to Connecticut
The Office of Outreach & Engagement is guided by the belief that when we engage with our community, we become more effective in solving societal problems. Our vision is to make community engagement a core pillar of every program at UConn, and to create a space where everyone finds a partner to advance Connecticut’s society.
What we do:
Assist UConn faculty and staff in developing partnerships with the local community to advance research, outreach, and teaching programs.
Connect community-partners with UConn’s talent and resources to address local problems.
Support engagement activities across campus that result in educational experiences for students.
Develop guidelines and training to promote productive and authentic partnerships within UConn and with the community.
