In 2017, the Student Programs Ignited for Community Engagement & Education (SPICEE) component was established to address the lack of presence of community engagement and education programs within SPACES. Additionally, this component served to meet the needs of underresourced students that were not addressed in retention and access. SPICEE is currently in the process of cultivating signature programs and establishing relationships with SPACES CORE organizations.
