Established in 2010, the Center for Civic Engagement (CCE) at Binghamton University serves the dual purposes of creating solutions to community problems and developing experiential educational opportunities for students. The success of the CCE has been pivotal in Binghamton University’s growing reputation for civic and community engagement as well as recent accolades including designation as an Innovation and Economic Prosperity University by the Association of Public & Land-Grand Universities and a place on the President’s Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll.
The Director will be charged with advancing the mission of the CCE by overseeing the Center’s work with faculty, staff, students, and community partners to create and expand experiential learning opportunities with public benefit. Efforts will be directed at developing meaningful community partnerships, promoting ongoing service opportunities, supporting faculty engagement (engaged teaching and scholarship), and providing resources and support for student-led change-making. The Director will be involved with Center management and will focus time on strategic initiatives such as creating a culture of engagement across the institution and securing external funding/resources.
