Our Mission
Established in 2006, the Center for Technology, Innovation and Community Engagement focuses on creating authentic university-community partnerships, promoting community-based learning programs, and building community capacity.
CTICE develops, supports, and coordinates a growing list of courses, co-curricular activities, and community outreach programs that harness the intellectual and material resources available at Columbia University to benefit the local community.
A common thread uniting CTICE’s activities is the belief that real-world experience enhances the educational experience, at any level, and all CTICE activities utilize community-based learning to educate students and benefit the local community.
The CTICE website is still under construction, so please check back for more information on our activities in the community.
