Westfield fosters civic engagement activities that emphasize knowledge, skills, and values. That leads to informed and meaningful participation in democratic processes and positive social change.
- Volunteer activities have included food drives, environmental protection and conservation, and annual walks and runs to raise funds.
- Examples of engagement on the international level include Westfield students working in Nicaragua to build a school and in Guatemala to teach health and nutrition.
Our campus fosters discussions, ideas, and hands-on commitment through engagement with communities.
Multiple reciprocal partnerships between the University and the city of Westfield, as well as with other local and regional agencies and organizations, have helped students gain insights into what it means to be an active and involved citizen.
