As a university with a public mission, UCLA is home to a wide range of activities focused on civic learning and democratic engagement. From research and coursework to programs and events, these efforts come in many forms and are led by individuals, offices, and groups from across the campus community -- including students, staff, faculty, alumni, and community partners. This website is intended to serve as a digital repository of the university's nonpartisan civic learning and democratic engagement efforts, providing a centralized place to access this information and broaden the impact of the work happening across campus.
