Civic engagement can connect what you're learning with the needs of a community. Research, projects, and leadership can reveal new interests, strengths, and possibilities.
These experiences aren't separate from your Norwich education. They're part of it.
CCREL helps you find opportunities and make connections between what you're learning, what matters to you, what you're capable of, and where you might go next. We can also help you recognize and communicate what you've gained as you pursue internships, employment, graduate education, and other opportunities.
