Community Engagement
UTEP Miners give back to their community while also acquiring essential skills that help with their academic learning and formation as citizens and professionals. Through a variety of community activities, students learn about social contexts and challenges as well as how to positively impact their community.
Students may engage in the community in a variety of ways:
- Volunteering and Community Service- a practice where students may volunteer one day, one hour, or on an ongoing basis
- Service-learning- community engagement that is done in conjunction with a course where academic credit is earned through structured service projects
- Community-work study or internships- may be paid or unpaid positions working with community partner organizations, typically 15-19 hours a week for one or more semesters.
- Community-based research projects- students conduct research with and for the community for the betterment of an identified issue.
How do students and faculty get involved?
To get involved visit the UTEP Center for Community Engagement’s website at utep.edu/cce where students can learn more about how to engage with community engagement opportunities.
