Center for Science, Technology, and Public Policy

Outreach + Community Engagement

If you would like to engage the public on science or technology issues, we would like to partner with you.

What We Do

The center works on multiple fronts to make connections with the general public, government decision makers, practitioners, and with faculty members from many academic disciplines across the University and externally. If you are looking for unique ways to engage with audiences on topics related to science and technology, we may be able to assist you.  We have used social media and community-based research to establish unique connections and have designed events that can attract different audiences.  For more details, please contact us.
