The Juneteenth Jubilee, co-sponsored by UMB’s Office of Community Engagement, not only commemorates a pivotal moment in U.S. history but also fosters community connection and joy.
Office of Community and Civic Engagement
The Office of Community and Civic Engagement (OCCE) serves as UMB’s liaison to communities across the state of Maryland on behalf of the Office of the President. Focusing on communities in West Baltimore that border the UMB campus, OCCE develops and nurtures Universitywide partnerships with external stakeholders, including K-12 public schools, community organizations, nonprofits, and local businesses. We assist UMB’s professional schools with coordinating community engagement initiatives. Additionally, OCCE coordinates faculty, staff, and student volunteer and service-learning initiatives to respond to needs identified by community partners.
