The MSU Community Engagement Scholars Program is offered by the Center for Community Engaged Learning (CCEL) with support from the MSU Office of the President. MSU student scholars work collaboratively with community partners, local organizations, and their fellow cohort members over the course of an academic year. The scope of each project will vary by partners, although all projects are focused on community and/or economic development. Scholars engage in their partner site and a cohort led by a graduate student coordinator. Professional development and community engagement education occurs over the course of the academic year.
