The Office for Public and Community-Engaged Scholarship is the lead CU Boulder unit for building the campus’s capacity to undertake public and community-engaged scholarship.

We support community-engaged research, teaching and learning, and creative work of faculty and staff members, and we connect those activities to the broader campus context. Our approach values diverse traditions and methodologies from across academic disciplines and fields. Ultimately, the office contributes to a campus culture that recognizes public and community-engaged scholarship as essential to CU Boulder’s mission as a public flagship and comprehensive research university.
