UAlbany Office of Public Engagement

The University at Albany’s commitment to addressing the pressing needs of society is long-standing, growing from our roots as a state normal school (1844) and our strategic location in New York’s capital city. Today, through engaged scholarship, teaching, and service, UAlbany is a global partner with the public and private sectors addressing critical challenges in hundreds of ways.

The mission of the Office for Public Engagement is to support the University's capacity to do public good, locally and globally, through the advancement of research, teaching and community engagement initiatives that address societal issues.
