The Center has formed a Civic Engagement Advisory Committee consisting of College faculty, staff and students, as well as representatives from local government, non-profit and for profit community agencies, and local K-12 school districts. This committee will play a key advisory role in the ongoing development of a campus climate of engagement. Committee members will strengthen the College’s civic engagement initiative by communicating, from varied perspectives, the impact of the College’s work in the community and the importance of community issues to the College. The Advisory Committee met four times during the 2007-08 academic year and plans to reconvene in early Fall 2008.
