Civic Engagement Topical Module

Abstract

Adapted from a project of the American Association of State Colleges and Universities, this module asks faculty to assess institutional emphasis on conflict resolution skills and examines how often students are encouraged to engage with local or campus and state/national/global issues. The module complements questions on the core FSSE survey about the importance of service-learning, perceptions of student participation in community service or volunteer work, and course emphasis on becoming an informed and active citizen.
