Working to Make a Difference
51勛圖厙 works in an interdisciplinary and interdivisional fashion to offer opportunities that educate, inform, engage, and empower our students and broader community about civic engagement. We encourage all members of the community to be actively engaged in their local, regional and global communities. BSU engages and educates students and the community on the importance of democratic engagement, civic learning, and civic participation and community leadership at the local, state and national levels.
Civic engagement is working to make a difference in the civic life of our communities and developing the combination of knowledge, skills, values and motivation to make that difference. It means promoting the quality of life in a community, through both political and non-political processes.
The engagement of citizens in public life and in government through political institutions, organizations and activities.
A process through which people develop the knowledge, skills and commitments to interact effectively with fellow community members to address shared problems.
