The Center for Civic Engagement (CCE) at Washington State University (WSU) advances the land-grant mission of the University by facilitating student and faculty engagement with communities through service, leadership, and scholarship. For over twenty years, the CCE has forged campus-community partnerships on the Palouse that build community capacity, generate knowledge, and influence positive change. Civic engagement is central to the public purpose of higher education and essential to the student experience, empowering students to become active citizens in a democratic society. The CCE facilitates the civic engagement of WSU students, including advocacy, political participation, and community-based learning experiences. In collaboration with faculty in a variety of academic disciplines, the CCE supports curricular integration of service learning, a pedagogy that connects hands-on community experiences with academically-based learning objectives. As a hub of civic engagement activities, the CCE also involves student clubs, living groups, and individual students who have an interest in active community engagement and civic leadership development. In recent years, the CCE has facilitated the annual engagement of over 9000 students and more than 150 Palouse-based community organizations. On October 27, at the 99th Annual Pullman Chamber of Commerce Meeting and Banquet, the Chamber announced the recipients of their five annual community awards. The WSU Center for Civic Engagement (CCE) was named the 2016 recipient of the Civic Improvement Award, which is presented for outstanding contribution to improvement of the community and citizen relations. “We are honored that the Pullman Chamber selected the CCE for this award,” said Melanie Brown, CCE Director. “It is a tribute to the efforts of all who have contributed to strengthening community-campus relations through civic engagement.” The WSU CCE welcomes new partnerships with nonprofit and public organizations that are inclusive and committed to serving the public good.
