The Office of Academic Engagement, its programs and initiatives, operate out of the Commons on the Pullman campus. The Commons was built in 1924 as a dining and residence hall and, since 2018, OAE has invested in upgrades to return the building to its original student-centered purpose and make it a welcoming place to build community, receive support, study, or work with fellow students.
The Commons Student Center, on the second floor, is open to all and located adjacent to OAE offices for convenient support as needed.
