An Organization with Decades of Experience!
For the past 36 years, we have led the charge to advance equitable, place-based community engagement, provided grant support for campuses, and developed innovative professional development for members in the region. That ensured New York and Pennsylvania colleges and universities would graduate students who not only become future leaders in their chosen fields but also civically engaged leaders in their communities.
““It is extremely gratifying to serve on the Board of such a progressive and impactful organization. Member institutions all recognize the critical need for contemporary leaders from all professions to be well-versed and confident in promoting community partnerships. With its diverse member institutions so dedicated to community engagement, PCCE is forging a new narrative on how best to cultivate the next generation of such engaged leaders.””
