CWU Don and Verna Duncan Civic Engagement Center - News About the Civic Engagement Center

The Civic Engagement Center was awarded a $100,000 Sphere of Distinction by President Jerilyn McIntyre in 2006 for its contribution to “innovative and resourceful approaches to academic, student and campus life giving regional, national, or international prominence to Central Washington University.”

The Civic Engagement Center was recognized as one of the Top Ten Programs at the Pacific Affiliate of College and University Residence Halls (PACURH) 2006 conference Nov. 15, 2006, when Civic Engagement Fellows informed their peers from all over the NW region about how to implement Fair Trade campus campaigns.

Civic Engagement students are building the Learning Environment and Activity Portal (LEAP), a web-based program connecting university students to off-campus K-12 classrooms and other universities through online forums, workshops and cyberguest chats.
