Farmingdale State College Office of Community and Civic Engagement (OCCE)

Farmingdale State College Office of Community and Civic Engagement (OCCE), is an institutional-wide initiative that fosters campus-community collaboration by engaging the university’s academic resources in the enrichment of civic and community life. The OCCE under the umbrella of the Nexus Center for Applied Learning and Career Development aims to foster and develop the next generation of community leaders. The OCCE supports community engagement efforts through a range of activities that promote social action, faculty scholarship and service, student leadership and community partnerships. Institutions of education lead best at the intersection of engaged scholarship, student development and community impact. Our opportunities for community and civic engagement inspires students, faculty and staff to increase and maintain a lifelong commitment to public service and advocacy.
