Public Engagement in the News
The Scripps Howard Center for Civic Engagement is an important component of the inner workings of the community and Northern Kentucky University. Many events, forums, lectures, faculty and staff and students are recognized for their outstanding work in the community. The following is a compilation of those announcements in both the NKU news and in the community and national news.
