Center for Public Service
The Center for Public Service challenges students to think critically and act compassionately through six program areas, carried out in partnership with other students, community members, faculty, and staff.
Student Leadership: Program coordinators organize action for social justice on campus and in the community.
Dialogue: Explore race and gender in safe, respectful, frank, and humorous spaces
to dismantle myths, expose privilege, and confront internalized messages.
Reflective Service: Co-curricular opportunities for meaningful service.
Community-Based Learning: Integration of traditional classroom learning with hands- on experiences, challenging students to link academic theories with community realities.
Community-Based Research: Students, faculty, and community members collaboratively engage in research to address a community concern.
Immersion Projects: Travel opportunities
in the U.S. and abroad to engage with a community, encounter challenges, and deepen understanding of social justice.
