In the certificate program I received training through coursework, professional development opportunities, and mentorship, which has helped to enhance and expand my work by grounding my practice experiences in the larger literature, ensuring my research is informed by expertise in the practice community, and learning the art of conducting community engaged scholarship which cuts across my teaching, research, and service.”

“The graduate certificate in community engagement provided me with the opportunity to interact with students outside of my discipline. I found this extremely helpful as I was able to gain a deeper understanding of what community engagement may look like in different fields and studies. The certificate also opened my eyes to the endless opportunities to engage communities in projects focusing on different dimensions of wellness”.
