Community Resource Guide
At the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic we created a spreadsheet listing a vast variety of community resources. That spreadsheet has now evolved into an updated community resource guide that is available to you. The completion of this resource guide could not have been possible without the assistance of so many organizations whose names may not all be enumerated. Their services and information are sincerely appreciated and gratefully acknowledged.

Carnegie Classification
How We Started.
The Carnegie Classification recognizes higher education's commitment to community engagement. Eastern Michigan University received the Carnegie Classification in Community Engagement in 2008 and again in 2015.
View more information on the history of this classification.
Currently, Engage and the University are working on re-classifying EMU as a Carnegie School for 2025.
The Reclassification framework in 2024 seeks evidence of an “Institutional commitment and excellence demonstrated through systems and structures that are deep, pervasive, and integrated."
