Truman has been deemed a “full participation institution” (FPI) by The Civic Learning and Democracy Engagement (CLDE) Coalition for promoting civic engagement activities.
Based on the spring 2024 Civic Engagement survey conducted in collaboration with Higher Learning Commission (HLC) Truman was identified for meeting requirements that virtually all students fall within one or more of the categories identified in CLDE’s Learning Framework: Democratic Knowledge and Levers for Change, Bridge-Building and Problem-Solving Skills, Practical Experience and Projects, and Career-Related Civic and Ethical Learning.
Of the 129 respondents, only 37 institutions were classified as FPIs.
CLDE was created by higher education and policy organizations in response to the serious challenges facing democracy at home and abroad. The coalition’s lead partners are the American Association of Colleges and Universities, Campus Compact, College Promise, Complete College America and State Higher Education Executive Officers.
