Community Engagement and Activism (CENA)

Are you ready to get to work improving your community? This multidisciplinary major will show you how. With a focus on politics, social justice, leadership and activism, you’ll gain the knowledge and practical skills you need to mobilize for change. And you won’t just learn about the issues facing our communities. You’ll take action.

Milwaukee will be your training grounds. Through service-learning projects, field work, internships and networking opportunities, you’ll get on-the-ground insights into the challenges and opportunities for social change at the community level.

Strong community leaders are always in demand, but this major will prepare you for more than just a meaningful career. You’ll be empowered to be a lifelong, engaged member of your community.
