• Community Connection


The Office of Community Connection is made up of the Wayne & Alice Keller Center for Community Engagement and the Center for Social Impact Leadership. Each component is focused on serving the local community with a variety of services and facilities to help equip residents in White County with the tools and resources to strengthen the community and meet various individual needs.

Social Impact Leadership

The Center for Social Impact Leadership will be an academic unit functioning in collaboration with seven of the 10 colleges of the University. The program is designed to provide an educational path and training for anyone who wants to positively impact their community — ministers, educators, business professionals and others. More details to come.

Kellar Center

The Wayne and Alice Ann Kellar Center for Community Engagement will open after renovation is complete and will offer tutoring, parenting courses, English classes and other various life skill classes.
