Since its inception, the Grenfell Office of Engagement has established itself as a key player in supporting the rural and regional needs of western Newfoundland. Through outreach and grassroots engagement activities, the office has strengthened its presence, positioning itself and the campus as an integral part of the region's socioeconomic fabric. Impacts have been particularly felt in the areas of entrepreneurship support, regional and Indigenous engagement, industry engagement and applied research.

From 2017 to 2019, the staff of the Grenfell Office of Engagement were responsible for implementing Memorial's Engagement Framework at Grenfell Campus, as well as community education programming, experiential learning and career development, and the activities of the Navigate Entrepreneurship Centre.

As we move forward, our office is committed to more fully realizing its potential as an engine of regional development. In 2018, nearly $80 million of the province's GDP was linked to activities at Grenfell. We must continue to build on that and pursue opportunities to collaborate with others to enhance the economic, social and cultural vibrancy of its region. Fundamental to this vision is the successful preparation of students to become engaged citizens, dedicated to strengthening their communities.
