WELCOME to The Center for Community Engagement and Academic Outreach (CCEAO)!  CCEAO was designed to create unique educational experiences for students while improving the local and global communities. We are committed to providing students with innovative learning experiences that bring them outside the classroom to engage with the community and with real world problems, while giving them skills and experiences that will prepare them for the rapidly changing world. 

 

Ar-Network initiative

CCEAO is supported by the NSF EPSCoR-funded AR-Network (Arkansas Network for Engaged Workforce, Outreach, Research, & Knowledge) initiative. AR-NETWORK aligns academic learning and research with real industry and workforce needs.

Through AR-NETWORK, we:

• Connect industry challenges to classroom learning
• Expand applied research
• Strengthen career pipelines
• Support economic development in the River Valley and beyond

CCEAO serves as the implementation arm for many AR-NETWORK partnerships.
