Supporting the Common Good

ENGAGING Communities, solving challenges, & Sharing knowledge
Pillars of Engagement
Our approach to community engagement is founded on partnership and reciprocity, ensuring that meaningful change happens when we work together. Antioch’s collaborations are grounded in mutual respect, benefiting both the university and our community partners equally.
Whether working with local nonprofits, regional coalitions, or global organizations, we listen, learn, and act together to solve problems that matter most. By addressing critical societal issues—from environmental sustainability to equity in education—we connect expertise with community needs to foster lasting impact.
Through our programs, we cultivate democratic values and habits, preparing students to be engaged citizens ready to advocate for justice and equity while contributing to the public good.
