Crossroads Civic Engagement Center

Throwback Thursday! This June, our professional staff attended the annual conference for Civic Learning and Democratic Engagement (CLDE) in Boston, Massachusetts. Professor John Miller of New College, Dr. Lane McLelland, and Dr. Jackson Harris presented on civic learning opportunities here at the Capstone. Dr. Harris also presented on Polarization and Public Sphere Theory.

It has been one week since National Voter Registration Day! Check out some of the festivities around campus that celebrated the day by registering voters!

The mission of Crossroads Civic Engagement Center, an initiative of the Division of Community Affairs, is to develop engaged citizens for the State of Alabama and the world. We do this through teaching, research, and service focused on four civic pillars: values, knowledge, skills, and action.

The Crossroads Civic Engagement Center’s vision is of a University that develops the civic capacity of its students and its community partners in ways that foster a thriving democratic society at the Capstone and beyond.
