The Center for Leadership and Service is guided by the Wagner Plan for the Practical Liberal Arts and builds upon Wagner College's longstanding tradition of academic excellence and dedication to the community. The Center fosters the exploration of innovative college-community partnerships, thereby serving as a catalyst for engaged citizenship and a focal point for the dissemination of best practices in civic engagement.
Headed up by Cass Freedland, Ph. D., the Center came to realization in the Summer of 2007. Since then, Wagner College has become engaged in many civic activities at many levels: curricular (Learning Communities, Civic Innovations); co-curricular (students groups and fraternal organizations); campus-community events (Mosaic Coalition, Staten Island Community Days); and national social justice initiatives (Project Pericles, Campus Compact and Imagining America). With the Center for Leadership and Service, all of these activities are interwoven into a unified civic engagement whole.
