and to determine some of the factors that are associated with civic engagement among these
students. To this effect, a survey of students at North Carolina Central University, a
predominantly Black institution, was conducted and analyzed using correlation analysis. Most of
the respondents considered voting to be important in civic engagement. The study also found that
institutions of higher learning that have integrated community service in their academic
programs are contributing to the promotion of civic engagement." PDF format.
