Community Engagement, including Service-Learning,is offered in a wide variety of courses and academic disciplines at Middlesex Community College. These community based academic experiences provide educational experiences that integrate community service with classroom instruction.
These opportunities meet identified needs in community settings where the need for assistance is great and ongoing.
These exciting opportunities focus on critical, reflective thinking and civic responsibility--the service and the learning are designed to be valuable both for the student and the community.
Community Engagement and Service-Learning at Middlesex are unique collaborations between faculty, students, community partners, and CCE staff.
CCE staff provide the infrastructure and support the reciprocal relationships between the faculty, students, and community partners.
Students strengthen their understanding of democratic values, citizenship and community responsibility by combining intellectual exploration with practical skills, as well as broadening their practical application of community based skills.
By promoting and supporting the integration of relevant community based service with teaching and learning,the CCE connects the classroom to the community and engages the college in the civic life of the larger community.
