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.
