About Campus Compact on the Local and National Level

National Campus Compact website: http://www.compact.org/ 

Campus Compact is a coalition of colleges and universities collaborating to increase campus-wide participation in community and public service. Presidents commit their institutions to join with other schools in becoming “engaged campuses” that enhance students’ sense of responsibility, citizenship, leadership and awareness of community, while reinvigorating higher education’s concern for improving the quality of life in North Carolina. NC Campus Compact is a member of National Campus Compact, which has nearly 1,200 presidential members, and 35 state offices.
