In the Community

In the fall of 2002, MWCC President Daniel M. Asquino announced the “Decade of Civic Engagement” – a college-wide effort to foster increased civic responsibility among its students, faculty, staff and greater community.

The Center for Democracy and Humanity was established to oversee the many programs and services offered by the college as part of the Decade of Civic Engagement. The Center coordinates programs and activities to ensure optimum efficiency and collaboration. In addition to the college’s many community outreach programs, college faculty are committed to infusing service learning into their curricula and academic endeavors.

To catalyze civic engagement within the college and its broader community, the Center for Democracy and Humanity employs four strategies:

Student engagement
Resident engagement
Capacity building and
