The
Office of Civic Engagement was established in 2001 within the
Delta Center
for Culture and Learning at
Delta State
University to house University and community volunteer and service-learning
programs. The office serves as a central clearinghouse for information on
campus-wide service-learning and volunteer efforts.
MISSION STATEMENT

"To promote a broad understanding of the history and culture of the Mississippi Delta and its significance to the World."
· Provide learning opportunities for K-12 and college students who want to understand the role of the Delta as a contributor to World culture.
· Promote pride of place and community within the ethically, economically and educationally diverse populations of our region.
· Engage our campus with the communities that surround it through volunteerism, service-learning, historic preservation, and educational interactions.
· Work with local schools and community organizations to promote racial reconciliation, civic responsibility and citizenship and student activities.
