About the Office of Community Engagement
Syracuse University’s Office of Community Engagement serves to connect the City of Syracuse and Central New York with the University to achieve sustainable impact. Through partnerships with local organizations, we create opportunities for genuine collaboration and help to create meaningful change together.
Our Mission
We believe that a university’s impact is measured not just within its walls, but in the neighborhoods, schools, and organizations in the city it calls home. Through partnerships that are genuine, reciprocal, and built to last, we work alongside community members, local organizations, and campus partners to create opportunities for meaningful collaboration and lasting change.
Our Vision
A Syracuse University that is deeply and authentically woven into the fabric of its community, where the university’s resources, knowledge, and relationships strengthen the city, and the city’s wisdom and experience enrich the university in return.
