The Office of Community Engagement serves as a bridge between the university and Muncie, Delaware County, and East Central Indiana. We seek the most effective ways to advance community priorities through authentic partnerships; sustain integration of e

ngagement across teaching, research, and service; and fulfill the university’s strategic commitments:

Our faculty, staff, and students partner with the Muncie Community Schools to improve academic outcomes and the operational performance of MCS, while enhancing the learning experiences of our students. We actively engage with community leaders to develop and implement a coordinated plan that promotes talent retention and attraction in order to foster economic growth. The amenities and vibrancy of The Village and surrounding neighborhoods are attractive to students, faculty, staff, and community members as a result of the implementation of a long-term, phased plan to enhance quality of place. We collaborate with external partners to implement a regional plan to improve population health and wellbeing. Our community members attend and enjoy athletic, theatre, dance, music, and other arts and entertainment events at venues on campus and throughout our region. Our innovative and robust educational offerings and delivery methods—including baccalaureate and post-baccalaureate micro-credentials, short-term learning modules, professional licensure workshops, and enrichment opportunities—accelerate career fulfillment and enhance personal development and wellbeing. We recognize and reward faculty and staff who connect their scholarship with the vibrancy of the city of Muncie and East Central Indiana in ways that can be replicated in communities around the world.
