About Civic and Community Engagement

Are you looking to make an impact on your community? We are here to support your effort.

As one of the student support offices within the Division of Student Affairs,The Office of Civic and Community Engagement (OCCE) works collectively with our campus and the broader community to educate and empower one another to be informed and engaged members of a community that makes meaningful contributions to society.

Learning Outcomes

The Office of Civic and Community Engagement will work closely with our campus and the broader community to achieve the following learning outcomes. Participants will:

• Understand how their lived experience and acquired knowledge (academic facts, theories, etc.) informs their civic/social identity.
• Recognize the methods of participation in civic or community engagement (i.e. voting, political engagement, organizing, direct service, research, volunteering, etc.) and how that method can influence societal impact and/or be a response to inequities.
• Reflect across worldviews and incorporate multiple, and even conflicting perspectives into discussions and decision making.
