UNO's Definition of Community Engagement
In accordance with our mission, UNO is committed to community engagement. UNO defines community engagement as "collaboration between the University and its local, regional, national, and global communities for the exchange of knowledge and resources. As an engaged campus, UNO is fully committed to creating value through mutually beneficial partnerships where information and expertise is shared and applied for the common good."
This definition was developed by UNO's Strategic Planning Steering Committee. It was refined and endorsed by faculty, staff, and students, and community partners through the campus/community Strategic Forum process on April 20, 2009.
