Civic Engagement Coalition (CEC)

What is the Civic Engagement Coalition (CEC)?

The Civic Engagement Coalition works with the Civic Engagement and Community Services Program Coordinator to promote democratic practice and values among students, faculty, and staff; to create and coordinate purposeful experiences within and beyond the classroom; and to develop knowledge, skills, motivation, and practice necessary for becoming responsible, engaged citizens in a pluralistic, democratic society.  The coalition is composed of students, faculty, and staff who are interested in furthering the mission of the committee and is chaired by Dr. Allison Rank.

The committee meets biweekly during the academic year to report on and make recommendations about curricular and co-curricular civic engagement activity.
