The Urban Community Engagement Fellows (UCEF) Program is a joint initiative of Michigan State University’s Graduate School and the Office of University Outreach and Engagement.

Like many mid-sized metropolitan areas, the Greater Lansing region is in a period of re-envisioning and revitalization. This presents a great opportunity to build upon its heritage and strengths while embracing neighborhood and downtown redevelopment possibilities.

UCEF pairs a multidisciplinary team of MSU graduate students with Lansing-area community partners to envision and sustain collaborative community-identified projects. Currently, UCEF works with communities in Southwest Lansing.

This fellowship program is for MSU graduate students with an interest in interdisciplinary team approaches to community engagement in urban areas. UCEF welcomes applicants from all colleges and programs.
