How does civic engagement benefit students?
There are a number of ways in which students directly benefit from being engaged during their time at Binghamton University. Students who are civically engaged are able to take advantage of networking opportunities and acquire special skills that will help them attain a job and succeed in their desired career. Service activities are also a great way to try out a few different career areas if you are not sure yet what you would like to pursue. Additionally, volunteerism is a great way to make new friends, become more familiar with the Binghamton community, and have some fun! Most importantly, providing benefit to others brings with it a terrific sense of satisfaction and leads to greater self–discovery and personal growth.
