What is a Community Engaged Student Assistant (CESA)?

Community Engaged Student Assistants support students, faculty, and community partners in four key areas: 

  • Developing community partnerships with faculty;
  • Recruiting, placing, training and coordinating service-learners for courses;
  • Developing creative projects, applying technical expertise, and collecting research data;
  • Providing direct service/research to the community partner(s).
