A civic engagement theme is assigned to each academic year by a faculty-staff committee. This theme permeates campus discussions and activities in student life programming, academic classes, forum presentations, religious life services, and many more venues. While the theme primarily infuses existing programming, one specially designed activity is Spring Engagement Day, which occurs late in the spring semester. The engagement day is a chance for individuals, student groups, classes, the theme scholar, service learning agencies, and others to present their work to the campus community. Opportunities for service are also a part of the day. The Spring Engagement Day provides a stimulating opportunity for the community to celebrate the broad impact that the theme has had across campus.
