Center for Social Impact

Making a Difference

The Center for Social Impact (CSI) is a place to bring together innovative and imperative efforts to meet community needs, promote equitable democracy, and advance the common good. We anchor our work in elevating the voices and experiences of those historically locked out of democratic spaces and conversations and are committed to shepherding our students to become ethical and virtuous stewards of an equitable democracy. 

CSI combines the efforts of campus and community partners, provides structure and resources, and creates a physical, intellectual, and social place for student civic engagement and activism. CSI’s reach and support has a long-standing history of promoting civic engagement and activism through:

  • Trainings and resources
  • Dialoguing Across Differences workshops
  • Community-engaged learning programming
  • Research fellowships
  • Experiential learning in the US and across the world
  • Social activism
