Connecting Bearcats. Empowering communities.
Welcome to the Center for Engagement and Community Connection (CECC) at Northwest Missouri State University — a vibrant hub for collaboration, learning and growth. Open to all students, faculty and staff, the Center serves as a bridge between the campus and the broader community, creating meaningful opportunities for engagement that foster a sense of belonging, purpose and leadership. Through dynamic programming that encourages dialogue, cultural immersion, cross-campus collaboration and social responsibility, we cultivate a culture of connection, learning and active citizenship where every Bearcat can thrive.
The Jump Start Peer Mentoring Program is here to support your transition to college life—academically, emotionally, and socio-culturally. As a mentee, you’ll be paired with a trained Peer Mentor who will guide you, share resources, and help you feel connected on campus. Together, you'll work toward your goals and build a strong foundation for success at Northwest.
