Civic Engagement

Civic engagement empowers individuals to actively shape their communities and influence change. Through civic engagement, we foster a culture of responsibility, collaboration, and leadership, ultimately working towards social justice and equity.

Cultural Moments

At Walden University, cultural moments are significant events, expressions, or actions that reflect and promote the core values of the institution's mission, particularly around social change, civic engagement, and leadership. These moments serve as touchpoints for the Walden community to engage in meaningful conversations, take collective action, and lead initiatives that create positive societal impacts.
