The Bristol Community
College's
(BCC) Civic Engagement Program is designed to enhance student learning
through the integration of academic learning in courses or through
participation in community service, while encouraging civic engagement,
social responsibility, development of workforces and community leadership
skills and the ability to reflect on the connection between civic
engagement and academic achievement. Over 650 students participated during
the 2016-2017 academic year in 39 courses taught by 28 different faculty
members working with more than 75 community partners. Projects included
students doing real-life SWOT
Analyses for local community agencies and nursing students engaging a
variety of populations in health and wellness activities. The Advisory Board met on
May 23, 2017 following the annual award ceremony to share their thoughts
about students, faculty and their community partners who are participating
in
Civic Engagement through unpaid service in community settings. Click
