About CDSG
Overview:
The Community Development Student Group is a group of students, supported by PSU Faculty, that develops relationships between future community builders as we seek to serve the University and the community in productive and fun ways. Many of us are majoring in Community Development as undergraduates in the School of Urban Studies and Planning at PSU but we also have students with other majors who are interested in strong communities, citizen participation and positive activism.
This student group is open to any student, but is mainly composed of Community Development majors and people interested in social justice, alternative economics, urban studies and planning, community health, community education and awareness, participatory decision making/democracy, and facilitation.
For our budget, constitution, and more, please refer to the SFC Budget System. Select the current year, and then "Community Development Student Group."
Mission:
Our mission is to enhance the student experience and facilitate community building, collaborative learning partnerships, and service opportunities that encourage inclusion, leadership, and empowerment.
