Civic Engagement Ambassadors

The Civic Engagement Ambassador program was launched in fall 2019 to advance civic engagement at Illinois State through unit-level conversations and information sharing. Ambassadors serve as liaisons between their departments/units and CCE, advocate for civic engagement in all forms within their units, increase awareness of civic engagement efforts, and provide valuable information to CCE staff regarding civic engagement activities within their units.
