What is the community project?
The Community Project centers around community engagement and service, providing students with a chance to cultivate an understanding of how their personal skills and interests can contribute to addressing the needs of the community.
In small groups, students identify a community need that is of interest to all group members and collaboratively design actions to have a positive, ethical impact on the community, while reflecting on their individual and collective knowledge.

Emphasizing service as a form of action has the potential to create tangible and lasting positive impacts on these communities. The process of service as action is comprised of five stages: investigation, preparation and planning, action, reflection, and demonstration.
