ABOUT THE OCE
The Office of Community Engagement (OCE)'s mandate is to develop and support meaningful and mutually-beneficial relationships between the university and the diverse communities of Montreal.
How we work with community
We connect faculty, staff and students with members of the wider Montreal community.
We promote community-led initiatives and community-based knowledge through our networks and media platforms.
We support new and ongoing community-engagement efforts with financial assistance, award applications assistance, and discounts on campus space rentals for non-profit community events.
We build partnerships by taking part in the planning and design of community engagement projects.This can include financial support, promotion, facilities discounts and making strategic introductions.
We experiment by co-creating and developing ambitious and innovative programs with community-led organizations and groups.
We also place a concerted focus on the cultivation of relationships, including with Indigenous communities. In this respect we are fully engaged in Concordia's Indigenous Directions.
