About USM Community Engaged Learning

Page Content

The Center for Community Engagement supports USM faculty who incorporate community-based experiences into their courses. While not all community-based experiences are “service-learning” and not all community-based research is “engaged”, we can provide assistance with any community outreach initiatives. 

Visit our pages on service-learning or community-engaged research to learn more.
