Civic Engagement
At CCAC, Civic Engagement is not limited to political participation. The college has
a general definition of Civic Engagement:
Any activity that encourages students to become active citizens involved on their
campus/center, in their communities, or in the wider world, is considered civic engagement.
The College also has a civic purpose. CCAC's civic purpose is to cultivate a sense
of community by:
- Promoting intentional service activities for students, staff, and community
- Bringing awareness of the issues associated with social justice and their impact on democracy
- Helping students develop civil literacy as well as self-awareness as global citizens
- Providing students the necessary resources and civic education for them to better understand that their vote is their voice.
