Civic Engagement
119 Bertrand Library
At Bucknell, we help students explore the world outside the classroom. Through community engagement, students gain a better understanding of the world around them and experience first-hand the issues that affect our local community and communities across the globe.
Bucknell students can volunteer on an individual basis or with a group of friends, join one of the community-engaged student organizations, become active through academic classes, clubs and organizations, sports teams or fraternities and sororities. Engaging in the community is a great way to become involved locally, share your talents with others and learn valuable skills for life beyond college.
