Academic Integration
We allow students to directly connect theory to reality with hands-on practice.
We also coach and support faculty to incorporate community-connected pedagogies into their teaching and research.
Community-Connected Learning Course
A CCE staff-taught course in which students apply relevant coursework to place-based contexts by collaborating with community partners independently or in groups to complete a community-connected learning project that contributes to the public good.
Privilege & Poverty Academic Cluster
The Privilege & Poverty Academic Cluster integrates coursework with experiential learning to critically examine the causes and consequences of economic inequality.
Half-Credit Experiential Gateway and Capstone Courses
The CCE offers half-credit Gateway and Capstone classes for students embarking on experiential learning opportunities such as Alternative Break Trips (MAlt) and Privilege & Poverty summer internships.
Academic Outreach Endowment Grants
We provide funds for faculty and students pursuing community connected research, teaching, and learning projects.
