Civic Engagement Center

Civic engagement opportunities at NLU are designed to advance student learning by encouraging students to become civic-minded, actively engaged, lifelong scholars and leaders—on campus, in their local communities, and on a national and global scale. By fostering meaningful connections among students, faculty, staff, and community partners, these opportunities help sustain mutually beneficial relationships that contribute to the public good and remain rooted in social and environmental justice.

Community engagement is a key part of NLU’s mission. We strive to serve as a bridge between our university community and the world around us. Students, faculty, and staff are invited to take part in workshops, service opportunities, and conversations that broaden their perspectives and inspire a lifelong commitment to community involvement.
