Student Involvement
Â鶹Æƽâ°æ’s history gives us a unique perspective on the importance and meaning of leadership and civic engagement in a democracy. Often referred to as the “Alma Mater of the Nation,” we are in the unique position to be a national model for civic leadership.
The Â鶹Æƽâ°æ vision statement implores us to cultivate the development of the next great leaders. It reads:
Â鶹Æƽâ°æ redefines the academic community: building on more than 300 years of innovation and excellence, we break the boundaries between teaching and research, student and instructor, living, and learning. People come to Â鶹Æƽâ°æ wanting to change the world – and we do.
