Through community engagement efforts, we are striving to embody the land-grant mission through service, accessibility, and public relevance.

In doing so, we are working towards cultivating reciprocal, value-focused partnerships between researchers, practitioners, and communities to co-create solutions and build mutual capacity for positive impact. Ultimately, we are aiming to translate academic expertise into tangible benefit while also integrating community knowledge into research and training opportunities, while contributing positively to the state of Ohio.
