With the advice and guidance of the Lake Shore Campus Advisory Council and our partners at the Water Tower Campus, Community Relations engages in community building activities that serve to inform and engage community members about university planning, events, and other pertinent information. Additionally, as active members of boards of directors in several neighborhood and non-profit organizations, we are conduits for information to bring back to the university community for wider support, participation, discussion.
