Community and Civic Engagement

Community engagement is one of the many ways 香港澳门资料大全 helps Scotties to think deeply, live honorably and engage the intellectual and social challenges of their times.

By participating in community engagement activities and events, you'll:

  • Become knowledgeable of a variety of social issues within local and global contexts.
  • Understand the underlying and contributing factors that impact social issues and identify various ways to address both the causes and effects of these issues.
  • Determine a personal ethical framework through which to see, interact with and serve the world around you.
  • Recognize how multiple identities impact service to others and the perception of that service.
  • Build skills related to leadership and global citizenship by engaging in service and service-learning opportunities aimed at alleviating social problems and their short- and long-term effects.
  • Develop an attitude of meaningful lifelong service to your local communities, state, nation and the world.

 

Impact Your Community

Service and leadership are inextricably linked and are vital for success. The goal of leadership is to bring about positive change. Within communities and society, this change frequently takes place through various forms of community engagement. By addressing societal needs alongside impacted communities, students participating in in-service programs have the opportunity to live their leadership in Decatur and beyond.

Please contact Blayne McDonald, Assistant Director for Service-Learning and Civic Engagement for more information or questions.
