Community Engagement is not only good for Northeast Florida it is great for Â鶹´«Ã½ students. The more students we can get involved in community engagement activities the more successful they are.
- Retention Rate - 13% higher than other students (based on 15-16 data)
Additionally, a rich and diverse community engagement experience is an important feature of a Â鶹´«Ã½ education. Every day we are working to broaden and deepen community engagement efforts at Â鶹´«Ã½ and compare our progress to trends in the National Campus Compact’s Annual survey.
