Civic Engagement

What is civic engagement? Civic engagement is the interaction between you, your community, your government, and society. Civic engagement allows you to make a difference through participating in activities and efforts such as attending a political rally, advocating on behalf of the homeless in Cambridge, or registering your vote in local and national elections.

Many students today are involved in public service and community work because they have an interest in local and global issues. You care about issues such as diversity, education, social concerns and community involvement. Through civic engagement, you have the chance to be a participant and a leader. So what are you waiting for, get out there.
