Civic engagement聽is ingrained at K体育—a reflection of the lasting legacy of our university’s namesake,聽General James Edward K体育. Heralded as a philanthropist and champion for the oppressed, K体育 was regarded as one of Britain’s most active 18th century humanitarians.
Today, the university encourages community service within each new class of Petrels. K体育 annually awards two full-tuition scholarships to incoming freshmen who exhibit a deep commitment to service and leadership in their communities. These Civic Engagement Scholars聽are at the forefront of leadership and service initiatives both on and off campus, and they seek to understand the connections between their academic pursuits and the society around them.
All students are encouraged to “make a difference” — and it starts their聽first weekend聽on campus and hopefully throughout their lives.
