Areas of Focus
Facilitate and conduct research to further our knowledge of topics
related to civic engagement and social justice.
Facilitate lectures, round table discussions, and skills
development workshops on issues of social importance.
Create and implement opportunities for student leadership and
mentoring through substantive student-staff positions, task-based
committees, and programming.
Present service and civic engagement events that provide
opportunities for the Pace community to actively engage with timely
issues and practice active citizenship through community service, civic
action, and social activism.
Provide infrastructure needed for the development, support, and
assessment of Pace's Civic Engagement (CE) course requirement.
CE courses at Pace are three to six credit courses that utilize the
pedagogy of community-based learning, are rooted in a discipline,
apply material to real-world community issues, and reflect upon
the notion of citizenship. The CCAR supports faculty collaboration
with community organizations, assists students in finding service
placements, and connects community partners with Pace students.
Coordinate national service and civic engagement initiatives
including Project Pericles, the Andrew Goodman Foundation's
Vote Everywhere program, the Jefferson Awards, and the Carnegie
Classification for Community Engagement.
