The Center for Engaged Learning represents an intentional and strategic partnership between Academic Affairs and Student Affairs. Through collaborative initiatives, the Center provides opportunities for students to bridge their own learning and living experiences during college, thereby enhancing their academic motivation and setting the stage for a lifetime of self-determination.

The directors of Career Services, First Year Student Success Initiatives, General Education, and Leadership Studies are located in the Center, which is adjacent to the Bush Science Center. Our undergraduate Student Engagement Mentors (STEMs) and Career Peers also keep regular hours in the Center.

Through the Center,

• Faculty and student affairs staff will explore and develop creative mechanisms to provide resources and guidance for all students;
  
• Community, faculty, staff and upper class students will provide guidance and leadership through serving as mentors to cultivate students’ academic motivation, social awareness, and commitment to lifelong career development; and
  
• Students will participate proactively in their college experiences and utilize available resources and programs to pursue their dreams for success in life.
