COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT
Put our experts and knowledge to work for your company.
The Office of Corporate and Community Engagement (CCE) is a central hub from which our top faculty and staff offer training or skills workshops, mini-courses, data analyses, investigative assessments, and other services to our corporate and community partners, groups, and individuals.
We make it simple – a warm, community-based campus, dedicated training classrooms, and ample parking. And we will tailor our fees for our corporate partnerships to provide top value for your investment.
