Outreach Initiatives
The relationship of the University of Massachusetts Amherst to the communities, groups and individuals with whom it creates meaningful engagements is a dynamic and flexible one. Faculty members at the university increasingly work with community leaders, professional decision-makers and creative thinkers throughout the Commonwealth to build relationships of value to all partners. In this section on Outreach Initiatives, you will find information on new areas of interest, areas of emerging concern or excitement, both short- and long-term. Unlike our section on Outreach Programs, these efforts do not necessarily rely on an established administrative structure or a permanent office. These Initiatives represent the commitment of the university to explore new ground in engaging with the people we serve.
