Who are we?

The Tulane Civic Engagement Coalition brings together students, faculty, and campus administrators to cultivate a campus culture of informed and active civic participation. Our mission is to empower students with the knowledge, resources, and opportunities to find their civic voices, engage in social action, and contribute meaningfully to their communities.

What do we do?

Our overarching goal is the amplify student voices and encourage our campus community to use their voices for positive change. To accomplish this, we have various ongoing project initiatives, and are always starting more! Included in our current projects are:

  • The Civic Engagement Coalition: This is a group open to every student, faculty member, and administrator looking to improve civic life on campus. Our meeting dates change, so please reach out to become involved!
  • The Civic Engagement Fellowship Program: This is a group of students, under the leadership of Dr. Agnieszka Nance, who lead civic engagement initiatives on campus and beyond. The fellowship is open to all current students, and applications open every year. 
  • Tulane Undergraduate Assembly (TUA) Civic Engagement Committee: This is a committee within Tulane’s student government, TUA, that meets bi-weekly. The purpose of this committee is to serve as a linkage between the civic engagement coalition and Tulane’s student governance, ensuring that civic engagement remains a critical component of our student body. 
  • The Civic Connections Newsletter: This is a monthly newsletter sent to the entire university that provides civically relevant information, opportunities, and programming. If you are interested in working with us, please reach out!
