Civic and Community Engagement is central to the public purpose of higher education and essential to the student experience, empowering students to become active citizens in a democratic society. The community engagement offices at WSU exist to forge community-campus partnerships that build community capacity, generate knowledge, and solve problems through service, leadership, and scholarship.&nbsp;
According to Thomas Ehrlich of the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, "Civic engagement means 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 nonpolitical processes." <a href="https://wsu.givepulse.com/group/426846-WSU-Everett" target="_blank" rel="noopener"></a><a href="https://wsu.givepulse.com/group/426848-wsu-vancouver" target="_blank" rel="noopener"></a>
