Since 1991, the Center for Community Action and
Research (CCAR) has supported civic engagement,
social responsibility, and reciprocal partnerships
with the community, resulting in enriched learning
for positive change.
Housed within the Dyson College of Arts and
Sciences, the CCAR's mission is to enrich the
educational experiences of students, faculty, and
staff in a manner that is consistent with Pace's
mission to cultivate tomorrow's leaders and
citizens for active participation in the larger life of
their communities, the nation, and the world.
