What is Public Engagement?

Public Engagement involves a partnership in which there is mutually beneficial, two-way interaction between the university and some entity within the metropolitan region or the Commonwealth. Both Outreach and Public Engagement contribute to stewardshp of place either by taking resources and expertise to off-campus locations or by bringing the public or subsets of the public onto the campus.
