Institute for Ethical and Civic Engagement
CU among best in nation for service learning
September 2005 - Coloradan
September Edition of the Coloradan (.pdf)
From working on a Navajo reservation to building water projects in Rwanda, CU-Boulder students and professors have helped the university land a citing in a new book, Colleges with a Conscience: 81 Great Schools with Outstanding Community Involvement (Random House).
The book lists CU as one of 81 exemplary universities that give students a multitude of opportunities to demonstrate civic responsibility. The university was the only school selected in Colorado for the book, which includes a two-page spread on each campus selected. The publication is a joint venture between Princeton Review, Random House and Campus Compact, a national coalition of 950 college and university presidents committed to civic education.
There's more good news: University officials currently are developing a new campus institute that will integrate ethical and civic education throughout the curriculum and campus programs.
So far officials have raised $600,000 and are launching a model project at the journalism school beginning in the fall 2005, which will be a series of courses and symposia to help students become more aware of their civic and ethical responsibilities as communicators.
