FUA in the Community

Studies at all FUA schools and disciplines invite students to not just experience or observe but actively contribute to the local community and culture. FUA seeks to immerse students as active participants of the local landscape, and this aim is supported by the community engagement model of its partner school AUF. Through the Community Engagement Member Institutions (CEMI), students and faculty are engaged in learning experiences that combine knowledge and competency in creative learning labs where the results are directly shared with the community.
