Engagement Highlights

The Center for Civic Learning & Action seeks to highlight the important work being accomplished by engaged faculty, students, and community partners.

Newman Civic Fellows

Dickinson College is a Campus Compact member. As Campus Compact writes on their webpage, this fellowship "recognizes and supports community-committed students who are changemakers and public problem-solvers at Campus Compact member institutions." These fellows receive virtual learning opportunities and networking through Campus Connect.

  • Clara Roth '21 became a Newman Civic Fellow during the 2020-21 school year

CCLA Competitions

The Center for Civic Learning & Action designed the Civic Innovation Competition to try to meet the needs of the Carlisle community. The most recent competition was held in the Fall 2020 and was directed towards K-12 students in our community during the COVID-19 pandemic. 

Civic Engagement Fund

The Civic Engagement Fund at Dickinson College (CEF) supports projects that promote civic learning and college-community engagement that benefit the public good. The fund provides funding financial and administrative support for innovative proposals in the areas of community-engaged collaboration, pedagogy, or scholarship. Priority is given to proposals from faculty in the arts, humanities, and humanistic social sciences. The fund is comprised of four distinct opportunities.
