The Centre for Community Engagement was established in 2021 with a mandate to provide appropriate infrastructure to support the community engagement priority outlined in the Strategic Integrated Plan and serve as a focal point to align this priority across the university and with partners. The Centre’s structure, design, governance and growth must focus on making the most positive impact in serving stakeholders in the community and at Carleton. The Centre can achieve this by developing strategic relations in the community and across the university to co-develop institutional initiatives, approaches, resources and evaluation techniques to support this work.
The Centre led the development of Carleton’s first Strategic Plan for Community Engagement (SP4CE) released in October 2022 and will work to develop corresponding support systems required for implementation.
