21. Be Responsive
Serving the Community.
Bergen Community College is committed to enhancing educational oppor-
tunities for students beyond the classroom. Bergen students participate in
community service projects that not only address local needs, but help stu-
dents develop academic skills, a sense of civic responsibility and commitment
to the community. Service learning empowers students to engage in real-
world issues and social problems and to work with community organizations.
