CIV 109 - Civic Engagement Project Preparation

Civic engagement projects combine academic learning with action (such as service, advocacy, awareness-raising, community-based research, campaigning, or activism) to address a significant social or environmental issue in the community (e.g. immigration, education, pollution, injustice, etc.). Students design their own projects, which entail approximately 40 hours of action and associated academic work sponsored by a faculty member. CIV 109 is the first semester of a two-semester sequence and must be taken in conjunction with CIV 110 or CIV 111 in order to fulfill the CE Cornerstone. Project proposal forms are available from the Center for Civic Engagement and must be submitted to the Registrar with approval signatures. Instructor’s consent required. Pass/No Pass.
