University of Tennessee Knoxville- Office of Community Engagement and Partnerships

The Office of Community Engagement and Partnerships is a collaborative hub within the College of Education, Health, and Human Sciences and the College of Social Work. Our mission is to foster meaningful and mutually respectful connections between the university and the broader community, creating a reciprocal exchange of knowledge, resources, and support.

Our vision is to build strong, active partnerships between the community and university, and make it a welcoming place for learning and sharing between the two colleges and the wider community. We want to create a place where working together, mutual respect, and giving back are key, leading to easy sharing of knowledge, help, and resources between the university and everyone around it.
