The Center for Community Engagement

Addison County has a housing crisis. Market conditions, the lack of available housing for sale and rent, and the condition of our housing stock all contribute to what has become a deeply pressing issue for our community. The lack of housing not only affects those who are here and seeking a place to live, but it also prevents the community from attracting people to live and work here. The problem is complex, but it CAN be solved.

Holiday event with Yellow House! Card and ornament making, gingerbread house decorating! Chili, cornbread, and hot cocoa! A wonderful way to end the year!

SLMDances is a New York City based dance-theater collective that works in communities to organize for gender and racial justice. In celebration of Martin Luther King Jr, SLMDances’ creative partners and artistic director Sydnie Mosley will offer a three-hour workshop open to students, faculty, staff and administrators.

Coalition Building and Collaboration:

Meeting for MAlt public health trip participants! Looking forward to seeing you all and bonding a little more before our trip begins/rest of our meetings.

Athletic teams: submit photos and anecdotes from your volunteering experiences to be featured by the CCE! The first 25 submissions will get a free drink from Crossroads Cafe.

Join us at the CCE (26 Blinn Lane) on Sunday October 29th to walk into town for a conversation on affordable housing at the Congregational Church. All interested students are welcome!

Join us in celebrating our ancestors and departed loved ones on Día de los Muertos.  Meet outside the Anderson Freeman Center (Carr Hall.)  Along the procession there will be music, performances, dance, and much more.
