University Outreach Council (UOC)

About UOC

Established in 2008 by CEO, the University Outreach Council (UOC) consists of U-M faculty and staff representing schools, colleges and units involved in educational outreach and engagement initiatives. Through once-monthly meetings, annual programs, and ongoing networking, this community at U-M shares best practices about educational outreach and engagement, offers expertise and guidance to promote educational outreach and engagement, and enhances collaboration and coordination of educational outreach efforts across campus.

“UOC is an intentional community open to all at the University who want to learn more about outreach, have a platform to share their key insights, and work together to further strengthen the K-12 impact of the University.”

"Networking with colleagues, and learning best practices for conducting outreach work."

"Breaking down the silos of campus units and coming together as a community to do this important work."

"It's nice to learn about the various programs and camps happening around campus. As a fairly new member of the U-M community, there is a lot going on so I really appreciate the chance to learn about these different things happening for students and for the youth."

"The thing that I have valued the most about this year's UOC meetings are the sharing of resources, and time to collectively brainstorm to increase student engagement. The knowledge of UOC members and lived experiences are cherished, as well as inspiring."
