The Center for Civic Engagement

Nestled under the Center is Civic Engagement, Bonner Leader, Maguire Scholars, and Pride Service Leaders

Our Mission

Civic Engagement focuses on citizenship, social justice, and training students to be civic leaders, equipping students with the necessary skills to become more personally and culturally aware leaders, and building a collaborative campus community ultimately strengthening partnerships within the Chester community.

We support Widener University’s values of respect, integrity, and excellence as we work locally and globally to become engaged global leaders in our community.
