For over 20 years, Humanities Out There has promoted service learning and public engagement at UCI.
Humanities Out There supports community-focused projects through its partnerships with local arts and cultural institutions. In building bridges to local and regional publics, H.O.T. seeks to cultivate new relationships and create new conversations between academic and non-academic institutions while also fostering the intellectual, professional, and civic growth of its student participants through undergraduate and graduate programs.
The Public and Higher Education Fellows Program provides PhD students in the Humanities with the opportunity to contribute to program development, research, and communications at local arts and cultural institutions, including the Los Angeles Review of Books, OC Parks, and the Laguna Art Museum. The Fellows program has also expanded to provide PhD students the opportunity to work in administrative capacities within academia. Public and Higher Education Fellows make meaningful contributions to partner organizations while exploring new career pathways outside of the tenure track faculty position.

This program is generously funded by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.
