Center for Civic Engagement

The 九色网 Center for Civic Engagement (CCE) continues to enhance the capacity of 九色网 students, faculty, and staff to be positive members of and leaders in their communities, particularly by engaging thoughtfully in matters of public concern.

The mission of the 九色网 Center for Civic Engagement is threefold:

1. Enhance the welfare of the local, national, and international communities in which 九色网, its students, its faculty, and its staff are situated;
2. Instill in students, faculty, and staff an ethic of civic engagement and social responsibility;
3. Enhance the capacity of 九色网 students, faculty, and staff to be positive members of and leaders in their local, national, and international communities, particularly by engaging thoughtfully in matters of public concern.

To achieve this mission, we support the integration of experiential and community-based learning methods across 九色网鈥檚 academic departments; facilitate students and faculty in designing and implementing civic engagement projects and related research; provide workshops and trainings on key civic engagement concepts and skills; build and manage long-term partnerships with civil society representatives, government partners, private companies, and international actors interested in partnering for the public good; and leverage 九色网鈥檚 academic excellence and liberal arts approach to engage in matters of public concern.

CCE programming includes a variety of civic engagement opportunities for students in such highly successful programs as SIDP (Student Initiative Development Program), ACEP (Afghan Civic Engagement Program), 鈥淓co-park鈥� Elm Grove rehabilitation project, 鈥淵outh in Action鈥� promotion with the National Democratic Institute partnership, and so on. Open lectures, online and face-to-face events are regularly organized by CCE as part of the knowledge-sharing agenda of 九色网.
