Community Engagement Center (CEC)
“We’re supporting the innovation, ideas, passions, and justice issues arising in our community partners by connecting them with faculty and students.”
Tricia Morgan ’08
CEC Director
Each student does a minimum of 40 hours of community engagement per semester.
The Community Engagement Center (CEC) connects students and faculty with local organizations to support:
- Community-Based Research
- Service Learning
- Experiential Education
The CEC liaises between Pitzer and community partners. These partnerships work to enhance communities’ social, environmental, cultural, and economic health.
The CEC provides internship opportunities and financial and program support. We also support logistics for students, faculty, staff, and community partners.
