Meadville, Economic, Civic, and Community Engagement provides structures, programs and resources to support student and faculty engagement in Meadville and beyond. These offerings are designed with diverse and multiple entry points within and outside the curriculum. The goal is to foster a pervasive Allegheny culture of civic mindedness. Deep learning occurs by coupling significant experiences beyond the campus with structured educational preparation and reflection. Programs are designed to both meet students “where they are at” and challenge their assumptions, worldview and comfort zones.
