About Us

OFFICE OF COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT

The Office of Community Engagement (OCE), formerly the Office of Engagement and Outreach, was originally established in 2018 and recently reestablished in 2023 to elevate and expand UW's mission of community engagement, including our land-grant mission of service to the state. OCE provides institutional leadership to assist UW's divisions in shaping, supporting, and advancing the university's goals for community relationships via engagement and outreach.
