According to research through the National Issues Forums, Americans are deeply worried that the social fabric may be unraveling--people seem less and less able to work across differences to get anything done. Can higher education help address this problem, helping our society shift "from me to we"? During this Community Dialogue, we will explore what this means to UMD and Duluth, and identify local opportunities for action and collaboration.

The Office of Civic Engagement maintains a list of volunteer opportunities available to students. Community organizations provide us with information and we update it weekly on our website. Please visit the drop-down box at the bottom of this webpage to view some community volunteer opportunities.
