The Covid-19 crisis has highlighted and exacerbated existing racial, economic, and health disparities within our communities. It is critical that we prepare students to recognize and challenge current threats to our democracy and to identify ways they can contribute to systemic change. Whether your course content is directly related to civic engagement or not, actively connecting your discipline to broader systems significantly impacts students’ ability to understand and participate in civic life.

In this interactive session, we will share the Pathways to Civic Engagement that offer multiple options for students to develop immediate and long-term habits of civic engagement. Participants will explore how their courses, research, and programs can connect with each pathway.
