By
linking community needs to the
expertise of our distinguished
faculty, experienced staff, and
diverse student body, CEPC conducts
outreach and develops projects
that are of mutual benefit to
all stakeholders, enhancing student
learning, providing faculty research
opportunities and meeting real
community needs.
Made
possible through support provided
by the Horace and Amy Hagedorn
Fund of the Long Island Community
Foundation, this program exemplifies
Old Westbury’s
commitment to community outreach
and leadership development. Students
will make a connection between
curricular concepts, community
issues and the major problems
confronting our global society
today. Local communities will
benefit through the receipt of
needed services, heightened student
awareness and the promise of future
civic engagement.
The
establishment
of
a
Community
Engagement
and
Partnership
Center
at
Old
Westbury
demonstrates
the
College’s
commitment
to
deliver
on
its
social
justice
mission,
not
only
with
its
facilities
and
personnel,
but
also
by
embarking
upon
a
process
of
curricular
change
that
institutionalizes
civic
engagement
as
a
required
component
of
its
First-Year
Experience
Program
and
goal
of
its
liberal
arts
education.
