The Center for Community Engagement

What obstacles do people in poverty face in exercising their right to vote? How can we as college students more fully engage with our democracy? Learn more about student-led efforts to increase democratic engagement on college campuses and break down systemic barriers disenfranchising voters like incarcerated individuals. Join Middlebury’s Privilege & Poverty Academic Cluster (P&P) for a lunch discussion with Dr.

The Cross Cultural Community Service Fund (CCCS) celebrates 10 years of intercultural service, learning, and community-building. CCCS participants will share their learning and their experiences and we will thank Middlebury alumnus Jay Dunn ‘87 for establishing and supporting the fund throughout our first ten years. Interested in cross cultural community service? Want to share your experiences or consider new ones? Please join us. RSVP by Thursday 10/31 at go/cccsrsvp. Lunch provided. Spaces limited.
