What We Do

The OCE works to intentionally pursue partnerships aimed at producing mutually beneficial outcomes.  We work to continually enrich our curriculum, research, service learning, and internship experiences in ways that bring the students, faculty, and staff together with the community.  We apply scholarly and service efforts to address real problems and explore the enormous opportunities in our region.  The OCE promotes volunteerism, community-engaged teaching, learning, research, professional development and service.
