"Engage for Change" is a year of service, advocacy, philanthropy and education around a single theme for social action.   The idea originated with a group of students who wanted to pool their energy and resources around the same issue, instead of working separately. The effort now includes faculty, staff and community members.

The theme for the 2008-09 academic year is "Environmental Justice", which will explore the responsible use of environmental resources as well as the current lack of basic environmental rights (e.g., clean water, clean air) for all.
