Center for Public Service
A Decade of Making a Difference
The Carolina Center for Public Service manifests the University’s commitment of service to the state and far beyond. The Center's programs reach virtually every part of campus and support students, faculty and staff who want to make a difference in the lives of others and contribute to the well-being of the state and making the world a better place for all. This year marks the Center’s 10th anniversary of public service through engaged research, teaching and service.
