Community College and Civics Report
Posted by American Association of Colleges and Universities on July 23, 2024
A new study by the American Association of Colleges and Universities (AAC&U) and University of Pennsylvania’s Annenberg Public Policy Center (APPC) finds that while community colleges are providing students with a broad range of civic and community-engaged experiences, there is still a need for making civic and community-engaged opportunities more transparent, better resourced, and more inclusive.
In order to examine the vital role community colleges play in supporting and advancing democratic ideals, APPC, in collaboration with AAC&U, conducted research to learn about the programs, initiatives, and curricular experiences related to civic learning and community-based engagement offered by community colleges throughout the United States. As part of the forthcoming edition of “Guardian of Democracy: The Civic Mission of the Nation,” the report details the robust and significant levels of civic learning and community-based experiences happening across community colleges.
