Civic Engagement Distinction
The Aims Community College Civic Engagement Distinction recognizes students who actively build the knowledge, skills, and experience needed to become active, civic-minded leaders. Through engagement in education, service, and advocacy initiatives, students develop the transferable skills to make informed decisions, navigate systems, and collaborate for positive change. Students learn to identify and take responsibility for problems in their communities, and embrace a collective approach to solving them.
