WVU Center for Community Engagement

WVU Center for Community Engagement The CCE helps make community and University partnerships work! Established in the late 1980s originally by WV Senator John R. Moore Hall.

WVU, throughout its history as an institution, consistently embraces a long tradition of commitment to community involvement through volunteerism, service-learning, and outreach efforts. Unger II, who was a student at the time, the Center's roots began with a desk, chair, and phone in a small room at E. Later in the mid-90s, the Office of Service-Learning Programs centralized this effort by hostin

g large grants funded by the Benedum and Kellogg Foundations, and supported WVU students in completing thousands of service hours to external communities. Fall 2006 marked the expansion of the Office of Service-Learning Programs to the Center for Civic Engagement. In 2013, The Center changed its name to the Center for Service and Learning, which reflects its commitment to student learning through diverse service opportunities. In 2021, the Center changed its name again to the Center for Community Engagement. The CCE continues to service all colleges and schools at WVU, student organizations, athletes, alumni, faculty/staff, and more. Although the fundamentals of engagement and service remain, WVU and the CCE are making a joint effort to reinvest in experiential learning and prepare students for future endeavors awaiting graduation. In January 2015, the Center launched WVU's Initiative, which charges WVU to do 1,000,000 hours of service by 2018, inviting the residents of to do an additional 1,000,000 hours, showcasing to the nation and world how central service is to the lives of Mountaineers.

🎉 Something NEW is coming to Adult Homecoming Weekend! 🎉

This year, we’re setting aside dedicated time for a camp-wide service project.

We’ll be packing food bags for the Backpack Buddies program in Lewis County, which provides nonperishable food items to youth experiencing food insecurity throughout the region.

💚According to Mountaineer Food Bank, 1 in 5 children struggle with hunger in West Virginia.

But we need YOUR help to make a difference! 🥫🍎

Check out our wishlist and see how you can help by donating supplies for our service project. All online donations must be made before our service event on September 25, 2026.

What a successful Welcome Week! 🤲🪏🗣️

The week was filled with many exciting opportunities to connect students to service opportunities here at WVU! CCE staff enjoyed representing on campus at the Mountaineer Bash, Midnight Mountaineers, and RecFest.

Students showed up strong in projects all week long, including a move-in recycling event with WVU Sustainability, and we were excited to partner the Town of Star City with AcES Engineering students for a Day of Service.

All to say, what incredible connections and partnerships we have! Let’s Go...keep the momentum going! 💛💙

On this day in 1920, the 19th Amendment was certified, securing a woman’s right to vote after decades of protest, arrest, and refusal to back down. Women’s Equality Day honors that fight, and reminds us that VOTING IS A LEGACY WORTH PROTECTING.

Let’s Go! 💛💙
