Thinking Critically and Acting Courageously at Waubonsee Community College

At Waubonsee Community College, Periclean Civic Engagement Fellow Aaron Lawler integrates civic engagement into humanities courses, guiding students to register, vote, and reflect on democracy. Through letter-writing, advocacy against book bans, and critical discussions on sustainability, students connected classroom learning to real-life action, discovering their power as active participants in civic life.
