CU ENGAGE: CU Boulder's Center for Community-Based Learning and Research

 

CU Engage collaborates with communities, schools, and organizations to address complex public challenges. We facilitate the development of equity-oriented partnerships that sustain engaged learning and mutually beneficial community-based research.

 

We are guided by these core values:

This talk also recognizes how the more things change in our world for these populations, the more they remain the same in higher education.
