OUR MESSAGE TO COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS
Southwestern University’s Office of Civic Engagement has a strong history of partnering with a variety of local nonprofit and public agencies; we strive to maintain and improve those collaborations, while also developing new partnerships. Our students are equally interested in engaging with the community. Over 70% of the student population participates in civic engagement, including community-engaged learning, community-based research, activism, and community service. During the 2011-2012 academic year, 1,042 students spent nearly 48,000 hours performing co-curricular outreach as volunteers and activists. Southwestern University has earned national acclaim for its civic engagement activities from the Carnegie Foundation and the Corporation for National and Community Service.
