Volunteerism

Community service is an integral part of the fabric of everyday life at the College of Saint Elizabeth, deeply rooted in the mission of the College and tradition of the Sisters of Charity, the College’s sponsoring religious order. Throughout all of its course work, programs and activities the College integrates reflections of and action towards the understanding and improvement of complex social justice issues, community and global concerns. Furthermore CSE encourages civic and social development through programs, activities and hands on experiences and service-learning initiatives that address social needs through direct service, systemic change, advocacy and fundraising.

The College lives out this commitment to service through initiatives such as:

• The Geraldine Doyle Riordan Center for Volunteerism and Service-Learning
• Campus Ministry
• Alternative Spring Break Trips
• Service-Learning Experiences Embedded in the Curriculum
• Community Based Federal Work Study Programs
• Internships and Field Experiences
• Student Club and Organization Programming
• Inclusion in Orientation and Freshman Seminar Programs
