The Office of Academic Engagement is a vital department in the Academic Affairs Division. This office is responsible of providing faculty and students with leadership and vision as they bridge the gap between the classroom and real-world possibilities.
Welcome from the Vice Provost

Our faculty and staff are passionate about guiding and supporting students toward their fullest potential. We are committed to creating an environment where curiosity thrives, collaboration flourishes, and personal and academic growth is celebrated.

I encourage you to explore, engage, and take advantage of the many opportunities that the Office of Academic Engagement has available to you. Together, we will continue to build a supportive and dynamic community where every scholar excels.
The Office of Academic Engagement faculty and staff are here to guide and support you every step of the way. Together, we will continue to build a campus where each individual is valued, where ideas are freely exchanged, and where we strive to make a positive impact on the world.
