OU Engage

OU Engage provides opportunities for civic engagement and leadership development at the University of Oklahoma for students, faculty, and community members. Through innovative courses, experiential learning, political engagement, participatory action research, and direct services, we partner the resources and expertise of the university with the knowledge and assets of diverse communities Working locally, statewide, nationally, and internationally, OU cultivates strong leaders who will effectively advocate for social, economic and educational inclusion, and fully participate in the civic life and political processes of their communities.

The university established a Community Engagement Committee to support OU’s community engagement efforts. The committee is a university-wide coordinating group consisting of 40 faculty, staff, administrators and students that meet monthly to share documentation, coordinate and improve community engagement, and assess data collected from the 2008 Community Engagement Survey.
