The Center for Community-Based Partnerships is an initiative of the Office of Community Affairs. Its role is to connect faculty, staff, students and community partners in research-based projects designed to solve chronic problems identified by communities. All academic disciplines are represented on a Council made up of campus and community members. The Council’s various committees oversee project funding, conduct an awards program, publish a research journal, propose methods to integrate teaching and research, and seek outside funding – all with the goal of “Engaging Communities and Changing Lives.”

CCBP creates University/community teams to expand the classroom for students and faculty while addressing quality of life issues locally, nationally and internationally. The Vice President for Community Affairs serves as CCBP Executive Director. Staff include the Associate Director of Community Education, the Associate Director of Community Development, and a Program Assistant.
