Civic Engagement : Home

The faculty, staff, and students of Rutgers University-Camden share a commitment to our host city of Camden, NJ. This guide provides easy access to university and library resources that support civic engagement in the classroom and the community.


“We focus on problem solving and partnering with the community. The philosophy and programs at Rutgers-Camden can be used as a template for the future . . . I believe education is transformative in general, but it is especially true when it is incorporated with experiential learning and civic engagement.”

Phoebe Hadden, Chancellor, Rutgers University-Camden

"The way we run our classrooms and the way we connect those classrooms to our communities can have a lot to say about whether our teaching and learning practices are advancing a more diverse, socially just, and democratic culture."


José Z. Calderón, Race, Poverty, and Social Justice: Multidisciplinary Perspectives Through Service Learning
