Stewards of Place

We are committed to community partnerships based on reciprocity whereby we engage our students, faculty and staff and serve as a catalyst for the ongoing development of the region’s workforce, culture and economy.

Initiatives

Community Engagement Model: Develop a highly fluid “model of engagement” built on collaboration and addressing the educational needs of a community.
Talent & Economic Impact: Further build on Oakland’s impressive economic impact, the plan draws an alliance of communities and businesses to create a strong, sustainable regional and state economy.
Cultural Ambassadors: Integrate the arts and humanities throughout campus, and identifying explicit ways to foster a greater appreciation for myriad forms of expression.
