About

The Center for Campus and Community Engagement, as part of our efforts towards promoting non-partisan democratic and civic engagement on campus are hosting an inaugural Civic Engagement Forum. This event is in-person but can be attended remotely with this link HERE. 

This event will serve a platform for students to civically engage directly with elected public officials in non-partisan ways, as well as an opportunity to discuss some of the key issues that matter and affect them.
