The University Community Academic Advising Program, UCAAP, has been designed to encourage students, at the very beginning of their college experience, to embrace community participation, reflection, and civic responsibility as central parts of a Brown education. In fact, the program has been working to advance a vision affirmed by the 2008 report of Brown’s Task Force on Undergraduate Education, which argues for “…a more inclusive concept of education – indeed, one so inclusive that conventional distinctions between general education and the concentrations, between the curricular and the extracurricular, even between classroom and community, need to be rethought.”
UCAAP is an initiative of the Swearer Center for Public Service in collaboration with the Office of the Dean of the College.
