Civic Engagement

Civic engagement encompasses a wide range of activities in which individuals work to strengthen their communities, to realize common goods, to enhance the capacities and dispositions necessary for democratic self-rule, and in general to deliberately shape their common life.  Wesleyan University prides itself on enrolling and nurturing students with strong social consciousness. Students participate in a wide variety of formal and informal “civic” activities in Middletown and around the world. These activities include volunteer work, practica, and service-learning courses. This minor is designed for students interested in reflecting upon these activities and integrating their civic and academic efforts.

Please join us for an Open House on Thursday, April 4, 2024 at 12:00pm in Allbritton 311.  Lunch will be provided.
