Our Mission and Values
The Community-Engaged Teaching & Research (CETR) team at Northeastern supports service-learning courses and engaged research. Through collaborations between students, faculty, and community partners, CETR enhances classroom learning and addresses social issues via community-focused projects. CETR promotes community-engaged teaching as experiential learning and offers student leadership programs, partnership opportunities, and professional development.
We are housed in the Education Innovation team of the Office of the Chancellor at Northeastern.
Our Boston campus resides on the traditional lands of the Massachusett People. The name “Massachusett” comes from an Algonquin word meaning “large hill place” or “at the great hill.” We honor the Massachusett elders, past and present, and recognize the history of violence, displacement, and survival tied to this land.
We also acknowledge that this statement is not enough, and we need to ask ourselves: How am I engaging in action and solidarity with the indigenous populations on whose land I am on?
