Civic Action Plan

The UCA Civic Action Plan seeks to energize and expand the university’s focus on civic engagement, including activities and initiatives, new or ongoing, that contribute to producing graduates who are educated citizens, creating partnerships that serve the public good, and developing learning opportunities that promote social responsibility locally and around the world.

The UCA Civic Action Plan Executive Summary is available on the Campus Compact website. The plan was accepted by Campus Compact in 2018.
