Social Advocacy

Civic Engagement: “working to make a difference in the civic life of our communities and developing the combination of knowledge, skills, values and motivation to make that difference. It means promoting the quality of life in a community, through both political and non-political processes.” (Excerpted from Civic Responsibility and Higher Education, edited by Thomas Ehrlich, published by Oryx Press, 2000, Preface, page vi.)

Civic Engagement Council

Join other leaders of Lafayette student groups in the creation of knowledge and social action. The Civic Engagement Council meets weekly for 12 weeks during the semester to plan campus-wide education events, persuasive advocacy campaigns, and other activities that advance Lafayette’s mission to “nurture the inquiring mind and to integrate intellectual, social, and personal growth.”

If you are interesting in being a part of the Civic Engagement Council, please reach out to Chelsea Cefalu (cefaluc@lafayette.edu) or submit an interest form
