What is Collaboratory?
Collaboratory is a database used by universities across the nation to track their own community-engagement and public service data. This allows universities to showcase to other faculty, staff, students and community members about their engagement within their respective communities. Our goal at the Office of Community Engagement and Partnerships is to allow Montclair State University the opportunity to showcase our community engagement. We need more information regarding these events and would like your assistance in collecting more information for Collaboratory.
