Community Impact
Academic excellence extends well beyond our campus boundaries. The Office of the Provost supports community-engaged education, service learning, and outreach initiatives that connect students and faculty with the communities they serve and learn from.
Through sustained partnerships, meaningful experiential learning, and community-centered programs, the University prepares graduates who are not only clinically and professionally prepared but also socially responsive and ready to serve with purpose for life.
The Office of Academic Community Education
The Office of Academic Community Education advances the university’s academic mission and commitment to community impact. Through intentional partnerships with schools, community organizations, and regional stakeholders, pathway and pipeline programs create structured opportunities for learners to explore careers, build academic readiness, and develop a sense of belonging within higher education. They emphasize mentorship, academic support, and experiential learning by connecting aspiration to access and achievement.
Community Outreach and Impact
Community outreach and impact are woven into the academic fabric of the university through all eight colleges, uniting education with service and purpose. Through volunteering and Community Service Learning, students, faculty, and staff extend their expertise beyond campus walls. Partnering with local organizations, clinics, schools, and community agencies, they address real-world needs and prepare graduates to lead with competence, compassion, and accountability.
