Grand Valley State University’s commitment to the values of community engagement is embodied in the institution’s mission statement and strategic plan. The Civic Action Plan has provided an opportunity to highlight, elevate, and further develop the good work that many in our institution are already doing in the field of civic engagement, as well as further grow and develop commitments. We have been intentional about telling our story in a way that affirms the previous work of many stakeholders from across the university. This work has laid the foundation for a successful Civic Action Plan and implementation of that plan. We seek to affirm that history and bring a broad representation of campus and community partners into the planning process and implementation, in order to continue to develop a civic ethos at GVSU.
