  • About Us

    The Jane Addams Center for Civic Engagement (JACCE) at Rockford University works to fulfill a mission of enriching our students’ educations and lives by engaging them with the community.

    Creating meaningful connections between Rockford University and communities beyond campus, JACCE organizes campus service projects, assists professors in creating Community-Based Learning and engaged research projects, and offers programming that cultivates an attitude of civic responsibility.

    Our work at the Center is grounded in the ideals and life of Rockford University alumna Jane Addams, who believed in the importance of understanding and reaching out to people in need and taking action to help.
