2019-2020 SERVICE & CIVIC ENGAGEMENT RECOGNITION

2019-2020 SERVICE & CIVIC ENGAGEMENT RECOGNITION

Each year, Pace University students, faculty, and staff contribute to their local and global communities through volunteering, service-learning (Civic Engagement courses), advocacy, activism, and non-profit internships.  Pace’s commitment to service and civic engagement has earned recognition through the Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education, Project Pericles, and the Jefferson Awards.

The Center for Community Action and Research would like to thank ALL of the members of the Pace community who have participated in events with us this year.  Join us in recognizing those who have gone above and beyond to attend multiple events, co-sponsor opportunities, host CCAR volunteers, and more…
