What types of civic engagement are there at Clemson?

Voting is just one way to be involved! We have a number of different types of civic engagement opportunities for students at Clemson University.

Voter Engagement: knowing how to vote, registering to vote, being an active and informed voter

Outreach: promoting public awareness and interest in topics or disciplines

Service-Learning: applying knowledge and skill in a public setting, where the service connects to and extends to learning of academic course material and involves reflective activities

Project-Based Internships: working via internship with a group, agency, or company on a project that impacts a community

Community-Engaged Research: collaborating as a researcher with a community partner, creating and disseminating approaches that strengthen a community and contribute to the knowledge of a discipline

Volunteerism/Service/Community Engagement: acting as an individual or as part of a group effort to benefit communities or individuals

We are a public, land-grant University, so civic engagement and engaging in "the social, scientific, economic, and professional challenges of our times" is part of our mission!
