Auburn University has a mission of Outreach—engaging its expertise in the community to improve the quality of life for citizens. Auburn encourages students to take an active role in the outreach mission.
The university offers innovative ways for students to engage in a variety of service learning and experiential education activities locally, regionally, and even internationally. These opportunities support learning by application and reflection in course-based service, field experience, directed study, and other engagement experiences.
University Outreach collaborates with the Office of Access and Community Initiatives, Alabama Cooperative Extension System (ACES), Biggio Center for the Enhancement of Teaching and Learning, the College of Liberal Arts Community & Civic Engagement Initiative, Educational Support Services Learning Communities, IMPACT/Community Service-Student Affairs and other campus partners to fulfill this mission.
