Description

In this session, participants will learn more about the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill's Carolina Center for Public Service (CCPS), and their approach to engaging students in service across multiple disciplines. CCPS manages a myriad of service opportunities, fellowships, scholarships, and community engagement initiatives throughout the university, with the main goal of connecting students, faculty, and staff to the wider Carolina community. Through participation in our different programs, students are able to add to their repertoire and apply the knowledge they learn in their coursework to real-world situations, building transferable skills that allow them to advance their personal, academic, and career goals while making a positive impact in their communities.
