13. What is the current structure in place
on your campus?
What do you envision for its
ideal structure?

14. Themes from Congress Workshop
• Not just more civic engagement, but deep, committed service
from individuals outside of the Bonner program
• All the campus organizations engaging in service revolve around
a common goal. Trying to find a larger purpose to get everyone
to collaborate and work together.
• Creating a culture and a mindset that service is not something
that you have the choice to opt out of. It's just something that
you do.
• Sustainable service that does not need incentives.
• 100% participation in service, but achieving this through varied
ways of civic engagement. Different commitment levels that
serve different interests.

15. How can your campus move from your
current structure to one that supports
student-led campus-wide engagement?
What support do you need?
