New in the Center today!

Just wanted to let everyone know our tax return program has submitted 679 tax returns this season! Thank you to everyone who has helped out!

Attention students going on the Spring ASB trips: There will be a pre-trip meeting for all students/all trips at 5:00 in the Union. More details will come out later!

Today in the Center

-Reminder for everyone that all of the Spring ASB forms and payments are due tomorrow! (Student Involvement by 5:00)

-Ask yourself, how much does UNL campus, and its various constituencies, know about the American Democracy Project and its goals for promoting civic engagement? This question is taken from http://www.nytimes.com/ref/college/collegespecial2/coll_aascu_ecintroq.html

-Remember to sign up for The Big Event so you can give back to the Lincoln community on the morning of April 21^st!

-Tax return season is going great this year! The group has been keeping up despite the weather cancellations and everything else. Nice job!

Today in Civic Engagement

-The Center wants to wish well all those who are part of the Civic Engagement Certificate. They had their first meeting this past week and are getting started on their Civic Engagement work!

-Important for Spring ASB students! All of your forms for the trips and payments to attend are due this Friday the 17th in Student Involvement to Sue at the front desk.

-Have a passion for Civic/Political engagement? Come play a part in our discussion Thursday at 12:30 in the Center for Civic Engagement on how to get students more engaged with both on campus voting and national voting.

Thanks!

Thanks to everyone who signed up for the Spring ASB trips! We have a lot of applications and are excited to go through them.

Are you engaged with your community?

Check out this article on civic engagement and college graduates. After you read the introduction reflect on your own civic engagement and see if it could be improved. As voting season comes near the Center will be trying to encourage more electoral and political civic engagement. As a way to do this we will be sending out some questions that you can reflect on. http://www.nytimes.com/ref/college/collegespecial2/coll_aascu_ecintro.html
