Community Engagement
Meet Jillian Hauf, NCWC's AmeriCorps*VISTA for 2011-2012!
Mission:
The Office of Community Engagement at North Carolina Wesleyan College strives to develop all members of campus to be fully involved with the local community and better citizens of the world. The OCE will encourage students to understand how their passions, interests and talents can be used to better the world around them, and to understand the benefits that they can receive from the community. Volunteers will understand the mutual benefits of volunteering, as they will gain valuable life experiences and will be given an opportunity to develop a wide range of skills. They will learn how the community works, will learn about the challenges of citizenship, and will contribute to making our community a better place to live.
Goals:
- Connect students with volunteering opportunities that are important and meaningful to them
- Strengthen connections between Rocky Mount and NCWC by inviting the community to participate in service events and benefit from our volunteers
- Support and recognize students who are already serving
- Foster discussions on campus of issues of public concern through various campus-wide events
