OUR PURPOSE
We aspire to enhance institutional cultures of community engaged learning that promote the Arts and Humanities as central to building knowledge and identifying and responding to endemic challenges, as well as fostering long term reciprocal relationships between and among the NW5C colleges and our community partners.
Supported by a generous grant of the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.
