The Office of Experiential Learning and Community Engagement (OELCE) at Molloy University facilitates hands-on learning experiences that align with the University’s commitment to transformative education in service to the community. We collaborate with faculty, students, and community partners to support service-learning, internships, practicums, and field experiences that bridge academic knowledge with real-world application. Through these opportunities, students develop problem-solving skills, critical thinking, and a deeper understanding of their disciplines in meaningful, community-based contexts.
Our Mission
The Office of Experiential Learning and Community Engagement fosters meaningful partnerships between students, faculty, and community organizations. Our mission is to support high-impact, reciprocal community engagement across academics and co-curricular experiences, reinforcing Molloy’s commitment to study, service, community, and spirituality.
