The Office of Faculty Engagement offers campus-wide assistance and advocacy to all faculty creating programs and activities that that align with AU’s community outreach mission. This is accomplished through a variety of initiatives, including those listed below, plus an annual award recognizing faculty success and commitment to that mission.
The Outreach & Engaged Scholarship Symposium was held August 27-28, 2025 at the the Auburn University Hotel and Dixon Conference Center. To learn more about the event please click below.
Faculty engagement is recognized in Auburn's Faculty Handbook tenure and promotion criteria and is supported in many ways through University Outreach's Office of Faculty Engagement. Watch the short video to learn more about University Outreach and the Office of Faculty Engagement.
