Office of Civic and Community Engagement

The University of Miami Office of Civic and Community Engagement (CCE) is a university-wide initiative that fosters campus-community collaboration by engaging the university’s academic resources in the enrichment of civic and community life. CCE develops teaching and research strategies that directly link academic scholarship to public practice by fostering stronger connections between the University and the South Florida community, integrating civic engagement and community-based partnerships into the curriculum, and promoting community service through experiential learning for students.  The goal is to promote a model of engagement based on a culture of collaboration and an ethic of reciprocity, recognizing the importance of knowledge co-creation and diverse forms of expertise.
