Academic Engagement
Academic Engagement (AE) leads UNG's role to direct engagement programs that have earned the Carnegie Classification for Community Engagement across UNG campuses. AE coordinates and facilitates comprehensive educational programming, community-based learning opportunities, and invests in discovery through engagement scholarship.
Developing a community of engaged students, faculty and building relationships with partners can help solve complex challenges to enhance UNG and community resources. We will build a flexible research collaboration network (RCN) across faculty, departments, and colleges. This will generate research that builds upon our understanding of productive community engagement efforts and also:
- demonstrate UNG’s commitment to the greater community;
- promote the mission of the university as a student focused environment that develops students into leaders;
- advance the university’s objectives as a University System of Georgia leadership institution;
- progress the objectives of the Carnegie Community Engagement Classification; and
- strengthen UNG's initiatives through greater coordination and impact.
