Community Engagement
Partner with SHSU to support engagement, scholarships, and initiatives that bridge campus and community.
CONNECTING EDUCATION AND COMMUNITY
At the Center for Community Engagement, students don’t just learn—they lead. Through hands-on involvement and collaborative initiatives, students will apply their education by addressing real-world challenges and making a meaningful impact.
Our programs connect students, faculty, and staff with community organizations who are passionate about creating positive change. Whether students are gaining real-world experiences, developing leadership skills, or preparing for a career rooted in purpose, the Center helps to equip them to grow as a life-long learner and as a citizen.
At SHSU, community engagement is more than a value—it’s part of your education.
