Who We Are
The Office of Community and Civic Engagement (OCCE) at Farmingdale State College takes the lead in institutionalizing community and civic engagement. It supports, showcases, and amplifies engaged scholarship and research among faculty, while creating student-centered academic and service opportunities to address various social issues in collaboration with local, national, and international networks. Operating under the umbrella of Nexus Center for Applied Learning and Career Development, the OCCE strives to inspire students, faculty, and staff to increase and maintain a lifelong commitment to public service and advocacy.
Nationally Recognized Commitment
