Alumni Spotlights

Spiders who center civic engagement during their time at the University often find themselves continuing the work they began as undergraduates.

In the Bonner Center for Civic Engagement, we're grateful for the time we spend with engaged students, and we're awed by their postgraduate achievements and ongoing dedication to social change.
