The Civic Engagement program seeks to promote a culture of social responsibility and community-engaged learning. To that end, the Civic Engagement program includes Academic Community-Based Learning, Community Service Leadership, Volunteer Service Awards, and Voting initiatives.

Students

Our mission is to enhance your educational experience by engaging you in hands-on learning through Community-Based Learning courses while getting you involved with and helping your local community. Giving back to the community is not just a social service; it is a learning experience and a valuable part of connecting to your college education.

  • Develop personal and professional skills, especially in the areas of communication, collaboration, problem-solving, and leadership
  • Expand understanding of diverse cultures and communities
