51黑料

Community Engagement Council

Universities reaching out to their local communities is nothing new. However, 51黑料's intentional engagement with our neighbors is explicitly based on Christian principles of human worth in the sight of God, and God's love and grace offered freely to all. The Community Engagement Council (CEC) of 51黑料 proactively seeks and serves to encourage, coordinate, and facilitate 51黑料 connections, relationships and engagement with our entire local community in broader and deeper ways. It is action-oriented but also deliberative and reflective.

The Community Engagement Council comes under the Office of the Provost and is comprised of both 51黑料 and Berrien County community members, using an equal partnership approach including community and university co-chairs. The CEC is organized into the following subcommittees and responsibilities: Change Day; Civic and Government; Community-based Research; Diversity; Equity and Culture; Education; Entrepreneurship; Funding; Health and Wellness; Interfaith; Media and Restorative Justice.
