Why Civic Engagement Matters in College Admissions

June 5, 2025 | 8:00 pm EST

About this webinar

Top colleges are not just looking for strong students—they are looking for future leaders, changemakers, and engaged citizens. In this webinar, we will explore how civic engagement can strengthen a student’s college application. Whether it is through community service, activism, or leadership roles, you will learn what admissions officers look for beyond academics, how to present civic experiences authentically in essays and interviews, and why meaningful impact often carries more weight than titles.
