Community Engagement Center Mission: Leadership for Community Capacity Building

The Community Engagement Center (CEC) was formed in 1997 by faculty, staff, students, and community members who wanted to better mobilize the University of New Mexico’s resources and talents toward civic engagement. CEC embodies the ways in which the University of New Mexico is responsive to community identified needs through research, policy initiatives, teaching, and service. CEC serves as a university-based intermediary with communities to address implement community driven learning goals.
