ECU's long term engagement goal is for ECU to be recognised for the range and quality of our engagement activities which will be a point of differentiation for ECU, produce mutual benefits and productive relationships with the University's various communities.
Engagement at ECU denotes a particular form of interaction between the University and the broader community. This interaction is characterised by a two-way flow of benefits.
ECU has long had an emphasis on engaging with and serving its communities. Having developed innovative and practical courses across a wide range of disciplines, ECU values its links with the communities it serves.
