Outreach at VT

Virginia Tech places great emphasis on outreach. Why? Because it helps to prepare students for the modern workforce and enriches the communities where Hokies live and work. In 2008, the university developed the Center for Student Engagement and Community Partnerships (CSECP). The purpose of the CSECP is to be a liaison between campus and the community, which furthers the university's land-grant mission and helps Hokies live Virginia Tech's motto: Ut Prosim (That I May Serve).

The CSECP, with the aid of Service-Learning at VT, even works with faculty to incorporate community service into coursework. In addition, through partnerships with VTEngage, the CSECP encourages student volunteerism. If you decide to transfer to Virginia Tech, we hope you will check out some volunteer opportunities!
