CENTER FOR CIVIC ENGAGEMENT NEWSLETTER | FALL 2022

This past fall, the CCE was bustling with energy as our programs and events returned to full capacity! We engaged our campus community in dialogue, volunteer/advocacy opportunities, professional development, and networking/learning from local leaders, advocates, and elected officials. We continued to strategically align our programming and practices with the CCE’s four pillars: Community, Advocacy, Civic Learning, and Political Engagement. We are very proud of all that the CCE staff and student employees accomplished this year and are grateful for our strong community and campus support.

Wishing everyone a happy and healthy new year and look out for our upcoming spring events!

Kate Adams, Assistant Director

2nd Annual Civic Dinner Series Fall 2022

The Civic Dinner Series provides students with the opportunity to network and learn from local advocates and their peers on important social issues over a welcoming meal. This fall, we kicked off our series focusing on mental health and housing advocacy. We want to thank our guest mental health advocates from the NAN Project, Raw Arts, Bake It Till You Make It LLC., and the Counseling Graduate Program at Salem State. Thank you to our housing advocates from Lifebridge NorthShore, North Shore Community Development Coalition (NSCDC), and the Haven Project. Our campus community enjoyed learning from you and thank you for your advocacy work.
