Levesque Institute for Civic Engagement/IMPACT

At the heart of IMPACT’s mission is the advancement of the culture of civic and community engagement that exists at NU through closer alignment with the university’s Vincentian mission and Strategic Vision Commitments. The model accentuates career preparation and workforce development through service.

IMPACT is a measured approach to instilling in NU students a model of collective impact that creates systemic change through project based learning. It is a comprehensive and individualized service program, which places more emphasis on professional and personal growth versus a model that highlights hours of service.
