Student Co-design teams is an initiative through Campus Compact, a national organization that supports college campuses across the U.S. with community and civic engagement. This initiative is intended to more fully and effectively embed student voice into the functioning of the university and campus culture more broadly. The Sabo Center is considering submitting an application for this program to more fully bring students into the Sabo Center Community Engagement Council (SCEC), which began meeting in Spring Semester of 2025.
Should an application be accepted, a team of 4-6 people (staff, faculty and students) would begin meeting in January of 2026. The project will require at least two hour-long meetings per month during the Spring and Fall semesters. The program begins in January 2026 and will end in May of 2027. Students will be compensated for their role with the project.
Applications are due Friday, December 5th, we need to confirm a team no later than Monday, December 1, 2025. Please fill out this short Google form to express your interest: https://forms.gle/DLk8e1GVQ8bohHnN9
