The Liberal Arts Engagement Hub space as many students and community members gather to attend a workshop.

Liberal Arts Engagement Hub

The Liberal Arts Engagement Hub (The Hub) in the College of Liberal Arts seeks to bring humanistic scholars in the arts, humanities, and social sciences and community members together in a spirit of co-creation and reciprocal partnership to respond to important social problems. The Hub offers a range of programming that supports community-university collaborative partnerships and a physical space in Pillsbury Hall, which can be reserved for community-engaged events and activities.

New Graduate Internship: “Grounded Knowledge"

The Hub was recently awarded a prestigious grant that has led to the launch of a new graduate student summer internship program. Applications for "Grounded Knowledge" are open now through February 22. Learn more about the program and the application requirements.
