Welcome
Community-Engaged Learning (CEL) initiatives at Brandeis are devoted to expanding the circle of participation in the educational process, drawing students, faculty, staff and community members into conversations about ideas, citizenship and social responsibility. In our curricular and co-curricular programs we seek to develop sustainable and productive partnerships with organizations and communities beyond the boundaries of campus in ways that help address pressing social needs and foster democratic participation in civic life.
Community-engaged learning is an aspect of the university's broad-based commitment to experiential learning. By integrating hands-on practice and thoughtful reflection, CEL projects enhance the university's commitments to social justice and academic rigor. Through active engagement with local communities, we try to hold up a mirror to ourselves as we work to build an increasingly inclusive and supportive community at Brandeis.
