Welcome
UNLV’s Office of Community Engagement seeks to support, facilitate, and promote collaboration, partnership, and engagement between the university and its many communities.
Virtually every department, unit, and group on the UNLV campus is involved in community engagement in some way. Whether it’s a student organization that volunteers, research that helps solve a community problem, or a class that offers personal enrichment, opportunities abound for our campus to connect with the community.
Applications for the Office of Community Engagement 2020 Awards are being accepted until February 7, 2020. Learn more and to apply.
