SU Accepted Into AAC&U Project on Civic and Community Engagement
SU was one of only 18 campuses in the U.S. to be accepted into the Association of American Colleges & Universities’ (AAC&U’s) project to “Advance Evidence on the Efficacy of Civic and Community-Based Engagement in Higher Education,” funded by the Lumina Foundation.
The project will culminate in the release of a summary report that will include recommendations for how individual campuses — and higher education as a whole — can best support civic skill-building for all students. SU’s participation is led by the Institute for Public Affairs and Civic Engagement under the leadership of Dr. Alexander Pope (Secondary and Physical Education).
