Our Mission

Student engagement is a key component of CEU’s mission to foster open society. CEU students, faculty, and staff actively engage with the community in their private as well as professional lives - sharing knowledge and expertise and collaborating with diverse partners in academia and across the public, private, and nonprofit sectors. 

CEU as an institution supports individual and collective efforts within the institution that identify and address the needs and issues of local communities. CEU’s research and knowledge production also contribute to our work in addressing existing community needs. 

Our approach to student engagement builds on equal partnership and dialogue with local, regional and global organizations, as well as with individuals. Our mission is to support student-led efforts that address local and global challenges, enriching their academic experience while contributing to societal well-being. Through research, knowledge sharing, and community engagement, we aim to provide a fulfilling and impactful educational journey at CEU.
