Feb. 17-23, 2025

WashU’s third annual Civic Action Week kicks off on Feb. 17, 2025! Civic Action Week is a weeklong initiative to highlight civic engagement opportunities throughout Washington University. All week across campus, different student groups, faculty, staff, and community partners will host events and other opportunities to engage.  

Why Civic Action Week? 

Our civic landscape is continually evolving, with both persistent and emergent issues across local, national, and international communities. If you’re passionate about social issues and want to get involved, where do you begin? 

Civic Action Week offers students a creative and engaging suite of opportunities to understand their civic journey, learn more about critical issues, and build connections for future work. As we move through and beyond the 2024 US Elections, Civic Action Week activities will invite you to consider how to get involved beyond voting and turn your civic passions into action. 

2025 Civic Action Week Call for Proposals

What issues matter most to you and how can we organize around them to enact social change? What kinds of events can connect students to the broader civic landscape? If you have an idea, we want to hear about it! Please submit proposals by Jan. 17, 2025.


A special thanks to our sponsor, the Women’s Society of Washington University, for their financial support of this endeavor.
