Engage in Your Community On and Off Campus

A great way to get involved on campus is to visit UMBeInvolved to check out events, clubs and activities.

Involvement in your local community is also an important part of your off-campus experience. No matter where you live, it is both your right and responsibility to take part in your local community. Students are encouraged to participate in local, state, and federal elections, and get involved in their communities through volunteering. Learn how to get civically engaged by visiting the links and resources below.
