CIVICALLY-ENGAGED SCHOLARS

The Civically-Engaged Scholar program provides a structure for students to develop knowledge and skills to become active members of their communities. The program enhances both academic learning and volunteer experience. Personal and academic knowledge deepen as students critically reflect on their civic participation in our community.
