Linda Major (from left), Linda Moody, Kris Baack and Nancy Mitchell are working on Civic Engagement programming and certification.
Civic Engagement program connects undergrads to community
A new civic engagement program at UNL is aimed at sparking that reaction in undergraduates. The program, unique in the Big Ten, wraps co-curricular experiences within UNL's general education curriculum and participants — regardless of their home college or major — emerge with a Certificate in Civic Engagement.
Civic engagement, loosely defined as connecting classroom learning with the opportunity to make a difference in the quality of life in a community, has been high on the wish list for UNL for a number of years. And when UNL initiated a new general education curriculum, ACE, in 2009, it required students to complete coursework in 10 "pillar" areas. Two pillars focus on developing students' individual and social responsibilities via courses focused on ethics and diversity. Read more about Civic Engagement at UNL in Today@UNL.
