"Who would have imagined 150 years ago ... that we would become the global prototype of a genuinely American brand of higher education -- one that is an engine fo the economy, a force for democratization of public learning, the model for engagement with the world beyond the campus, and a catalyst for improving the quality of life in Michigan and around the world." - Lou Anna Kimsey Simon, Ph. D., President, Michigan State University, Founders' Day Address, February 11, 2005
Welcome to the Graduate Certificate in Community Engagement Web Site!
Michigan State University's new Graduate Certificate in Community Engagement prepares students for academic careers that integrate scholarship with community engagement.
The program is designed to help students organize and reflect on their community engagement experiences. It is tailored in cooperation with the student's graduate advisor and University Outreach and Engagement, and includes both instruction and a mentored experience in community engagement.
Students who complete the program will receive a Certificate of Completion from the Associate Provost for University Outreach and Engagement and a notation on their transcript through the Office of the Registrar.
