Civic and Community Engagement Office

“We will ever strive for the ideals and sacred things of the city, both alone and with many; We will unceasingly seek to quicken the sense of public duty; We will revere and obey the city’s laws; We will transmit this city not only not less, but greater, better and more beautiful than it was transmitted to us.”

The Maxwell School embodies the words of the Athenian Oath in its people, programs, research, courses, and partnerships. The Office of Civic & Community Engagement serves as a central hub for information and opportunities to connect, as well as a home for several of our strategic initiatives.

As of Fall 2025, the CCE Major is no longer accepting new students. Those interested are invited to learn more about the new Civic & Community Engagement minor, an 18-credit academic program that maintains the same Program Values & Learning Outcomes while providing a much more flexible format.
