Kalamazoo College is a proud member of the Kalamazoo community and strives to teach our students to be enlightened leaders who work to promote justice, equity and sustainability. Accordingly, community engagement is a cornerstone of the K-Plan<\/em><\/a> with experiential education<\/a> requirements that enable students to directly apply their studies in Kalamazoo. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To help foster relationships between students and Kalamazoo, the Mary Jane Underwood Stryker Center for Civic Engagement<\/a> and the Arcus Center for Social Justice Leadership<\/a> connect students with community partners. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
