Community Engagement
As part of your Douglass Curriculum, all students engage with Community Engagement while at Douglass.
Our focus is to foster an environment that embraces all members of our Douglas and Rutgers community. We aim to ensure that every individual, regardless of their background, feels valued, respected, and included. Community Engagement programs create a vibrant and enriched learning and living experience for everyone. There are many ways that a Douglass students can fulfill this requirement.
Your Community Engagement experience should provide you with one of the following:
- Self-awareness of cultural values, assumptions and bias
- Understanding and valuing others
- Understanding structural inequities
- Interpersonal skills to engage across different contexts
- Skills toward transformation and inclusion
Alternative to participating in programs, students can also attend 8 hours of community engagement programming. This is programming includes events hosted by Douglass Student Organizations, and other RUSA recognized organizations that focus on aspects of community engagement. You can see that list of Douglass student organizations below.
