Civic Engagement Sub-Committee

A main element of social justice work in higher education is to conduct outreach and engage with the community at large beyond the four walls of the college institutions. This is being done in a variety of ways across RCCD as faculty, administrators, students, and classified professionals (many themselves are members of the communities in which they work) collaborate with the community on a regular basis with the goal of empowering students and community members as well as enriching the college experience for all stakeholders. While this committee is still emerging, it sees a commitment to the intersection of social justice, community, and engagement at its core. The committee recognizes the importance of connecting the RCCD community to opportunities in which people can bridge their social justice passions and build community with others who are committed to leading social justice–centered lives.
