As a presidential organization, one of Campus Compact’s chief goals is to promote the role of presidents and chancellors in advancing civic engagement. These leaders are uniquely positioned to make an impact by speaking publicly about the importance of service, service-learning, and civic engagement and creating policies and structures to advance this work on campus.
