What We Do


The Center For Community Collaboration (CCC) has the potential to be a central point for contact with external companies for programs and services and our internal partners.  Our end goal is to connect the SHC community with the surrounding community and one of those ways is to match non-profits in need of assistance with students and faculty based on the compatible need and skill level.  The CCC will operate year-round and provide students with opportunities to participate in long- and short-term sufficient and sustained experiential collaborations with external and internal partners.  

Students will register with the CCC and will be informed of collaborative opportunities such as 

  • conducting needs assessment or customer service surveys
  • conducting program evaluations
  • facilitating training workshops
  • assisting with organizational development
  • conducting leadership seminars
  • providing small business support
  • designing surveys
  • data entry and analysis
  • developing fundraising, marketing, and business plans
  • grant writing
  • developing awareness materials
  • creating media kits
