VA Engage is a collection of universities in the Commonwealth of Virginia that are dedicated to their surrounding communities through many different community partnerships. VA Engage connects these universities’ community engagement offices in order to spread new and beneficial ideas and resources to raise campus-community ties throughout the Commonwealth.
All VA colleges and universities, two-year and four-year, public and private, are welcome to be members.
