Committee on Civic Engagement

Sundays 4 PM; Zoom

Minutes

To promote a stronger culture of civic engagement and community engagement at Homewood Campus and create new infrastructure inside and outside of the classroom so we can have conversations about community engagement and our place in Baltimore. We believe that the best way to spark civic engagement is to cultivate relationships and empathy between diverse individuals, because diverse relationships are key components to success, happiness, and innovation.
