Community Partnerships Staffs

The Community Partnerships Department is a dedicated team working to bridge the gap between the university and the broader community. Aligned with the Vice President for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, the department fosters strategic partnerships with community organizations, nonprofits, and government agencies to create lasting change.

We focus on empowering minority and underrepresented communities by improving access to educational, economic, and cultural resources. Through partnerships and community engagement, we promote positive, sustainable change and ensure that diverse voices are heard and valued. Our staff actively participates in the development and execution of initiatives that address key community needs. By leveraging the expertise and resources of the university, we focus on amplifying diverse voices and ensuring that all community members have access to opportunities for growth and success.
