About CIVIC

Project CIVIC (Civil Interactions and Viewpoints for Interpersonal Competence) aims to strengthen students’ ability to communicate across differing viewpoints, engage in respectful dialogue, and collaborate productively in academic and workplace settings. This project is funded through the Fund for the Improvement of Postsecondary Education (FIPSE), administered by the U.S. Department of Education. As such, this project abides by the Department’s non-discriminatory policy, Title VI.
