 Our Mission is to prepare students to become citizens of a global society and challenge them to be committed to a life of community service. The Offerings of the CSLC include:

The center is responsible for helping students, staff, and faculty create or find service opportunities in the community, network with local non-profit agencies, and support faculty with academic service-learning needs.
  • Issues education
  • Assistant with philanthropic efforts
  • Connecting students to community based service agencies
  • Campus wide service/service-learning opportunities
  • Faculty and staff assistance
  • Connection to state wide civic engagement information/opportunities

Guided by the Social Change Model
Focus is on strengthening:
Individual Values * Group Values * Societal Values

Social change refers to creating positive change within the community that in some way benefits the community.  Social change leaders are those who work collaboratively to ensure that change occurs.  Some have described social change leaders as being focused on collective action, shared power, and having a passionate commitment to social justice and civic engagement.
