About the Center
The Bonner Center for Civic Engagement (CCE), founded in 2004 as a major addition to the University of Richmond’s educational enterprise, provides intellectual, experiential, and physical space for the coordination of community-based learning efforts in the Greater Richmond community.
Through a rich array of resources and programs that incorporate active service, study, research, and reflection, the CCE aims to help students, faculty, and community partners work together to understand the factors that contribute to local, national, and global social and civic problems. The CCE stands as the next logical step in the community-engagement efforts that have developed at the University during the last two decades.
Located in Tyler Haynes Commons at the heart of the campus, the CCE generates significant public conversations, original insights, and practical efforts toward the improvement of social conditions in Richmond and beyond.
