Welcome to the Office of Community Engagement
"From their earliest days, state colleges and universities have diligently served in their role as stewards of place, answering the call to join with public and private partners in their communities and regions to take advantage of opportunities and confront challenges." (AASCU, 2002)
The Office of Community Engagement reorganized in 2009 placing a renewed emphasis on civic engagement and service learning. This change is timely and important given Radford University centennial, “100 years of service,” as well as the increasing expectations that higher education, and particularly state colleges and universities, maintain and strengthen their role as stewards of place, who can engage with their communities and regions to confront pressing issues, challenges, and opportunities.
