WHAT IS CIVIC ENGAGEMENT?
Civic engagement is a pedagogical learning experience within an academic course. It
encompasses a broad range of ways (applied learning activities) that courses may engage
students in learning about and taking action for the public good. The applied learning activity is
directed toward the achievement of course learning objectives and also toward making
meaningful contributions through collaborative active participation.
The applied learning activity is used to clarify, illustrate, challenge, or stimulate additional
thought about the topics covered in the classroom. Structured written and/or oral reflection ties
the applied experiences to the academic content of the course and also provides students with the
opportunity to develop or strengthen their awareness of the relationship between the course
material and societal needs, a service ethic, and their role as citizens.
The applied learning activity could take on a variety of forms. Examples may include, but are not
limited to, the following:
● Collaborative work that builds public consensus on a particular topic
● Community-based research
● Community outreach and education
● Direct service to a specific community
● Organization for action on relevant topics, such as social, health, safety, or environmental
issues
● Policy analysis
● Program assessment and improvement of community resources
The applied learning activity should correspond with and must be appropriate to the student's
level of academic preparation. If off the University’s campus, activities should take place only at
sites approved by the instructor and under contract with the University in accordance with
University risk management procedures.
