In January, the Carnegie Foundation recognized Lafayette with Community Engagement Classification, which is higher education’s most prestigious acknowledgment of an institution’s commitment to community engagement.
Landis Center for Community Engagement coordinates over 30 weekly MOSAIC civic leadership programs, facilitates engagement opportunities for Greek organizations and athletic teams, and leads Lafayette’s America Reads program. In collaboration with Easton Area School District, the Landis Center developed the Connected Classrooms program, which engages over 600 students and 15 faculty members in learning opportunities each year. These programs contributed over 24,000 volunteer hours in academic year 2018-19.
