Annual Activity Reporting
2024-25 REPORTING DEADLINE IS MAY 31, 2025
Annually the Office of Community Engagement (OCE) collects details about activities in collaboration with external partners or programs specifically serving external communities. OCE seeks information on activities where faculty, students, and staff are both “giving and receiving” through their service experience and collaboration with the community. We also collect information on community outreach, volunteerism, and shorter-term service opportunities, undertaken as part of one’s professional or educational responsibilities. Contact Pat Smith for more details.
