Center for Community Engagement

Advancing Beach 2030 Through Community Engagement Program Review
Final Report
Our Four Pillars
We enrich students’ educational experiences, providing high-impact practices through programs in:
A high impact teaching approach utilizing community-based experiential learning to connect theory and practice through critical reflection. It provides benefit to community partners as well as students by promoting sustainable campus- community relationships that address community needs and enhance student learning.
A high impact learning experience that engages students in meaningful internship opportunities that integrate knowledge and theory learned in the classroom with practical application and skills development in a professional setting. Internships give students the opportunity to gain valuable applied experience and make connections in professional fields.
A partnership approach to research that equally engages the university and community organizations. Each participant contributes their expertise, with shared responsibility and ownership, to integrate the knowledge gained with actions to improve the well-being of the community. (Israel, Schulz, Parker, and Becker, 1998).
Authentic collaborations between CSULB and local, regional, national and global communities for the mutually beneficial exchange of knowledge and resources in a context of partnership and reciprocity.
