Community Engagement

Faculty and Staff

Many staff and faculty members at McMaster are already deeply involved with community in a variety of ways.  Many others are just getting started.

Either way, we know that this work takes a significant amount of time and energy to build relationships and launch new research, education, or service partnerships.  We’re here to help!

HOW YOU CAN GET INVOLVED

Below are some of the most common ways that you can further embed community engagement in your research and education activities, or get involved with the Office of Community Engagement.  If you’re not sure which path to choose, contact us and we can help you figure it out!
