Community Engagement at Union College fosters student growth and leadership through meaningful community engagement. By building long-standing and intentional partnerships through collaboration with community stakeholders to address local needs, we empower students to develop cross-cultural awareness, reflect on their impact, and contribute to a vibrant, inclusive Schenectady community and beyond.
