CCELL and LSU Campus Life established the Engaged Citizen Program to support and recognize the accomplishments of undergraduate students who engage significantly with their communities to address critical community needs. Any undergraduate student can apply to be a part of the program.
“We are extremely proud of the service students continue to offer through this program,” said Associate Dean of Students and Director of LSU Campus Life Jacob Brumfield. “ECP graduates such as Lizabeth have stretched themselves as leaders. They support our community selflessly with classroom and research-based resources. Our communities and our state’s fortunes are brighter because of their leadership and service.”

Special requirements for this semester's cohort include completion of a minimum of seven credit hours of service-learning designated coursework, a minimum of 75 hours of community service with approved organizations, and a reflective paper detailing how the work fulfills LSU's commitment to community.
