Example
The First-Year Experience at the College of New Jersey is a collaboration between General Education and
Student Life. Students live in residence hall communities with a volunteer non-resident faculty fellow for
each floor. Faculty fellows, student life staff, and students plan residence hall activities. Students also take an
interdisciplinary core course, Athens to New York, taught by full-time faculty and selected student life staff
in residence hall classrooms, and incorporating service-learning. Four questions drive the mission of the
First-Year Experience: What does it mean to be human? What does it mean to be a member of a community?
What does it mean to be moral, ethical, and just? and How do communities respond to differences? Servicelearning provides a compelling situation in which students can confront complex social issues, apply their
talents to marginalized communities, interact and work with diverse populations, and enhance their career
preparation.

Conclusion
It is not enough to simply be an active or engaged citizen. Civic engagement and active
citizenship in a democracy should be a vehicle for pursuing democratic ideals of justice
and equality in a multicultural society (Einfeld & Collins, 2008, p. 105)
