Civic engagement theme
A civic engagement theme is assigned 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 Civic Engagement Day, which occurs late in spring semester. This 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. Civic Engagement Day provides a stimulating opportunity
for the community to celebrate the broad impact that the theme has had across campus.
