The Office of Leadership and Civic
Engagement is a coordinated effort to
bridge learning with experience, and
service with social change. Our mission is to prepare and
empower students for the world they will fi nd after college.
Combining leadership development, volunteerism, servicelearning
and civic engagement, we hope to promote critical
and creative thinking and most importantly, inspire action.
Conceptually, this program integrates volunteerism with
leadership activities and awareness, promotes local and
global involvement, and emphasizes that signifi cant action
leads to meaningful change. Through this office you will have
the chance to serve, lead and be transformed!
There are a wide variety of programs offered throughout
the year and we encourage you to become involved with
our organizations, events, and activities. Students have
participated in leadership activities and volunteered in
programs ranging from tutoring children, to providing
recreational activities for seniors serving in over 40 area non-
profi t agencies and community and faith-based organizations.
If there is a cause you are passionate about come see us!
