Created in 2010, the Civic Engagement Scholars program, hosted by the Center for Civic Engagement & Learning (CCEL) and co-created with former CWRU President Barbara R. Snyder, promotes and recognizes meaningful student involvement in the community.
Program Vision
The Civic Engagement Scholars Program supports students in becoming informed, engaged citizens who contribute to positive social change. Through three interconnected pillars, students learn about communities and social issues, engage in meaningful civic action, and reflect on their experiences to deepen their understanding and impact.
The Three Pillars
Engage
Take action through meaningful civic engagement experiences that contribute to community well-being and social change.
Learn
Explore community issues, civic responsibility, and best practices for ethical and effective engagement.
Reflect
Examine experiences, perspectives, and personal growth to strengthen future civic participation.
