"NEVER DOUBT THAT A SMALL GROUP OF THOUGHTFUL COMMITED CITIZENS CAN CHANGE THE WORLD......INDEED IT'S THE ONLY THING THAT EVER HAS." -Margaret Mead (Anthropologist)
The University of Massachusetts Dartmouth is committed to fostering an ethic of service on campus. We believe through participation in quality service activities our students, faculty and staff make a significant contribution to our community, find meaningful extra-curricular activity and develop an increased sense of civic responsibility. The community service / civic engagement program coordinates community service and service-learning opportunities for students, faculty and staff. The program develops training and resources for community service activities such as the annual community service fair and alternative spring break opportunities. Student, faculty, staff and community members with ideas, projects and questions are encouraged to contact the Community Service / Civic Engagement program for assistance.
