Center for Responsible Citizenship
Be a part of something bigger.
The CRC rebuilds social fabric through intentionality and trust. We’re cultivating a world where neighbors care for one another and diverse perspectives can find a common ground. With a shared vision and a genuine affection for its membership, a community of responsible citizens is equipped to confront life’s deepest challenges and enrich future generations. Through conversations that matter, we are reimagining the political landscape, one dialogue at a time.
Conversations that Matter
Are you a student passionate about social change? A faculty member seeking to engage with diverse perspectives? A community member looking for meaningful dialogue? The Center for Responsible Citizenship is a place where ideas flourish, barriers crumble, and lasting connections are made. Through conferences, reading groups, and discourse dinners, we foster critical thinking, challenge assumptions, and inspire charitable action.
From Campus to Community
We work to rebuild our social fabric at the local level, cultivating trust where the bonds of friendship should be the most natural. We start with the undergraduate students here at Lee University. These young men and women are at a formative moment in their lives, where they will decide whether to cultivate themselves, their place, and the people in it, or whether they will give up and go it alone.
The CRC connects them with community leaders and fellow citizens, encouraging thoughtful, respectful, and intergenerational dialogue. We host reading groups, discussion dinners, intercollegiate discussion symposia, mentorship and scholarship opportunities, a Constitution Day Quiz Bowl, and a whole host of events designed to meet students as they grow into members of a broader community.
