Public Engagement

Welcome!

Memorial University is a public university, serving the public good. Public engagement is one of Memorial's three academic mission areas (along with research and teaching & learning,) and a core strength of this university. 

The Office of Public Engagement (OPE) is the steward of the Public Engagement Framework, which guides Memorial's public engagement activity. OPE is also a catalyst for action on public engagement at Memorial University, working with groups inside and outside the university to design programs and initiatives that advance public engagement at Memorial.

Basically, we are here to help support students, faculty and staff in their public engagement work, however we can. Please take a look at our programming, and reach out if you've got questions or ideas about public engagement at Memorial. 

Interested in staying in the loop? We post regularly on Linkedin.
