PLC Engagement

Why

It is up to each PLC student to take the steps necessary to elevate a greater societal purpose above individual achievement, accruing titles, and beyond the boundaries of personal privilege. In PLC, active engagement and service are not the tally of hours to put on a resume, but mindsets and lifestyles.

How

The Engagement and Service Team empowers PLCers to create positive change through investments of time, talent, and energy, emphasizing the importance of diverse perspectives and reflection.Ìý

What

The Engagement and Service Team empowers PLCers to explore the continuous process of learning, serving, and reflecting by consistently providing various opportunities to serve throughout the PLC, CU Boulder, and Colorado communities.
