Welcome
iEngage Summer Civics Institute is a five-day civics day camp designed to help students learn how to make a difference in their neighborhood, school, and community. Participants build important leadership skills through interactions with local civic leaders, simulations, and service-learning. Activities for students include spending time at the Baylor Law School learning about the
What does it mean to advocate? This week, students have been asked to identify, as a group, a local civic issue they want to advocate for and present to their fellow iEngage students. Today, we invited community members to act as “sharks” for a Shark Tank-esque mock presentation, allowing students to strengthen their advocacy skills before Friday’s closing ceremony. The students blew us away with their passion and preparedness, which means we can only imagine how stellar they’ll be on Friday. Can’t wait!
Thank you to Ms. Rachel Pate, Vice President of Economic Development at CTAACC and Director of Lemonade Day Waco, and Will McNierney, Master's student at Baylor University, for joining our staff as “sharks” and providing invaluable insight and feedback. We would also like to thank Amy James, Associate Librarian and Online Librarian for Education and Information Literacy at the Baylor Libraries, for speaking with our students this morning.
