Civic Scholarship Initiative
Caring for our elders, caring for ourselves
Residents from Pierce County are invited to join in a dialogue on what can be done to ensure that our elders and their caregivers live their lives in comfort, in good company, and with the best health care possible, throughout their last years. Everyone is welcome.
More InformationThe Civic Scholarship Initiative (CSI) connects University of Puget Sound's faculty and students with citizens of the south Puget Sound region in projects of mutual concern. By investing the university's intellectual capital, the initiative provides real-world laboratories for faculty and students to pursue their research and teaching objectives while partnering with regional organizations to solve problems, develop policy, and educate the public on issues of regional and national significance.
Civic Scholarship projects originate from either faculty requests or expressions of interest from community members. All programs promote the university’s educational, service, and research missions, and seek to bring the community and university together in productive and supportive collaboration.
