Our Office

The Civic and Community Engagement Office is a one stop destination to get involved with the community.  With curricular and co-curricular activities, we can get students, faculty, and staff in touch with schools, government agencies, and non-profit organizations or community partners in touch with students, faculty, and staff looking to make Western New York a better place to live.
