Faculty Council on Community Engagement
The Faculty Council on Community Engagement (FCCE) is a standing committee that
- identifies strategies and initiatives to promote faculty engagement with the community and enhance faculty success;
- integrates community engagement principles into faculty development, leadership and outreach efforts;
- acts as a bridge between faculty and administration, ensuring ongoing communication and collaboration;
- supports initiatives that strengthen faculty connections to the community, foster career growth and promote partnerships with external organizations. The FCCE collaborates closely with councils focused on students, staff and the broader community.
