Civic Engagement
Welcome to the Civic Engagement website at the University of West Georgia! It is our hope that this website will prove to be of value to individuals and groups on campus interested in some aspect of civic engagement. We also hope that it will serve as a means of bringing diverse interests together and as a means of defining a more cohesive campus-wide civic engagement strategy or strategies.
What is Civic Engagement?
"Civic Engagement is individual and collective actions designed to identify and address issues of public concern." Wikipedia
"Civic engagement helps students understand the importance of responsible citizenship in the sustainability of democracy, without which, higher education as we know it would not exist. Civic engagement also helps in building and maintaining healthy, productive communities on and off campus." Dr. Sandra Stone, Interim Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs
