Phase 3 Plan/Civic Engagement Plan + UPDATES

Back to Citizen Scholars: Social Justice

The main focus in Phase 3 is the Civic Engagement Project. In your Phase 3 Plan, in addition to a reflection on your experiences, growth, and development in Phase 2, and your larger aims in this final Phase of the program, sketch out a general idea of your Community Engagement Project. The final plan for the project will be defined in collaboration with community stakeholders, mentors, CS advisors, and peer collaborators. After you have consulted with all those groups and individuals, your Plan should, outline project goals, project scope, benefits to community, community stakes and contributions, stakeholders' and collaborators' names and roles. As you develop the Plan, you should consult regularly with your adviser and keep drafts of your plan with mentor comments in your Community Engagement folder. Submit the plan for program approval before commencing the project. If your project continues for more than one year of your time in the program, please update your plan to reflect any developments and changes at the beginning of each academic year.

Submitting your work:

When you are ready to submit work to the Achievements System, make sure you are doing that within the specific tasks (or achievements) that are relevant. Once you submit something, an icon will appear on your program roadmap (the general screen where you can view your program progress). The green icon with a check mark means you have completed that task and that it has been officially approved. The yellow icon indicates that whatever you submitted is currently under review (meaning that you have done what you need to for the moment and program administrators are reviewing your submission). The blue icon with the pin is used for handful of achievements that require you to submit something multiple times. This might be, for instance, a project plan that requires additional updates. For submissions of this sort, once your plan has been approved, the blue pin icon will appear (indicating that you are "good for now, but will have to submit something else in the future" before the entire achievement has been completed). Finally, the red icon with the explanation mark means that something you have submitted has been reviewed, but not approved and requires revision.

NOTE: This is a submission that utilizes the blue pin icon.
