Husky Community Engagement Endowment
What is the Husky Community Engagement Endowment?
When St. Cloud State University thrives, so does the surrounding community. When the greater St. Cloud community thrives, so does SCSU. To help fortify this connection, the University created the Husky Community Engagement Endowment to provide SCSU’s president with the opportunity to make strategic investments in community focused initiatives and programs that will enhance the relationships between the surrounding greater St. Cloud region and our University.
Potential projects and initiatives
The Husky Community Engagement Endowment will benefit projects that strengthen University and community pride, and champion collaborations and partnerships. The focus of Husky Community Engagement-supported projects includes but is not limited to:
• Area revitalization
• Community showcases and initiatives
• Expanded experiential learning opportunities
• Externships and workforce partnerships
• Fostering economic opportunity
• Research partnerships
Husky Community Engagement and stewardship of place
Stewardship of place means supporting activities or initiatives that enhance the communities served by a university or college. For SCSU, that means keeping student access and success as well as regional well-being at the heart of our work.
St. Cloud State is a driver of economic, social and civic prosperity for students, families and our greater community. As an educational, economic and social hub in the greater St. Cloud region, stewardship of place is woven into #OurSCSU community’s core mission and vision.
