About the Rochester Center for Community Leadership
The Rochester Center for Community Leadership was established in January 2005 as part of the College Dean of Students Office. Its purpose is to develop, coordinate, and promote a variety of programs to connect college students to their community and to encourage them to become engaged citizens and leaders during their college years and in the future. Our distinctive College curriculum emphasizes student responsibility for their education; its values of freedom, responsibility, and community make community engagement an essential part of student learning. We have developed a unique model of community leadership that supports the interest driven nature of the College curriculum, one that is based on research on student and community development theory, as well as leadership theory. At Rochester we encourage our students to learn what they love and to give where they live.
