November 20, 2012

The American Democracy Project in the Center for Civic Engagement at the University of Central Oklahoma is committed to increasing student civic engagement, an essential component of transformative learning, at the University of Central Oklahoma. Established in 2003 in partnership with The New York Times and the American Association of State Colleges and Universities, with UCO as a charter member, the American Democracy Project involves 250 colleges and universities in a special initiative that focuses on higher education’s role in preparing the next generation of informed, engaged citizens for our democracy. As institutions and as individuals we make a difference by example, by living lives of engagement, and by inviting our students to prepare for lives of civic responsibility.
