The ɫ Center for Civic Engagement (CCE) continues to enhance the capacity of ɫ 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 ɫ Center for Civic Engagement is threefold:
To achieve this mission, we support the integration of experiential and community-based learning methods across ɫ’s 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 ɫ’s 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), “Eco-park” Elm Grove rehabilitation project, “Youth in Action” 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 ɫ.
