The Office of Community Engagement's mission is to foster activity that promotes vibrant, diverse, and safe neighborhoods and creates a strong sense of community among all residents. Due to the Borough of State College's partnership with Penn State, the Office of Community Engagement serves as a resource for student-residents and long-term residents and strives to cultivate positive relations between them. The Office of Community Engagement helps ensure that all Borough neighborhoods are sustainable and inclusive by supporting community capacity building efforts and encouraging student-residents and long-term residents to participate in community living.
