CIVIC ENGAGEMENT MINOR

The civic engagement minor is designed to prepare students to productively address the injustices and inequalities in today’s world. It does this by investigating both the past and the present in order to help students better comprehend the intersections of culture, society, and politics. Such an understanding enables and empowers students to become resilient leaders of positive change in a complex world as they serve democracy and promote social justice.
