On-Campus Campaigns

The Community Service Committee is a very active group of students, staff, and faculty from Northwestern. The group focuses on several main initiatives throughout the year but has added smaller campaigns this year focusing on particular issues. If you have an idea for the Community Service Committee, please contact us.
