COMMIT to being an active and engaged citizen!

This phase of community-based learning signifies a high level of engagement and sustained involvement. Students identify and act as engaged citizens and scholars who partner with communities to address society’s most pressing needs. In the process, you commit to being agents of lasting positive change, building long-term partnerships, implementing sustainable solutions, and creating a more just society.
