YOU HELP THE UNDERSERVED. The College’s Center for Community Engagement prepares students for lives of meaning and impact through service, scholarship, and citizenship. Programs work to strengthen communities and contribute to the public good.

The College organizes eight spring break service-learning trips for students that take place around the world.

Student leaders guide orientation trips introducing 70 firstyear students to more than 40 community partners.

1,500 students are involved in 65,000 hours of service including 23,000 hours of communitybased courses.

The Center for Community Engagement awards over $130,000 for community-service initiatives.

YOU PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT. In January, the College announced a 10-year plan that will put the institution on a path toward renewable energy to power and heat its central campus. The plan includes goals to reduce energy consumption, phase out direct fossil fuel investments, and create educational programs that will empower future generations of environmental leaders.
