We are dedicated to the idea that earning a college degree is preparation for not only a professional career, but life as a citizen.
The Morgridge Center for Public Service is innovative, nimble, continuously learning, and dedicated to improving its programs and services. Nearly every school, college, and corner of the university is somehow linked to the Morgridge Center.
The Morgridge Center prepares students to become engaged citizens, active members of their communities and tomorrow’s leaders. Faculty become involved through teaching community-based learning courses, integrating service into their curricula, and conducting community-engaged research.
Our Celebration
On Thursday, Oct. 9, we celebrated our 30th anniversary. The celebration brought together students, faculty and staff, alumni and community partners to appreciate the center’s three decades of service.
Our Impact
The 30th Anniversary of the Morgridge Center is not just a testament to time, but a reflection of its enduring impact on the thousands of students, faculty, and community members who contributed to its legacy.
Our Former Students
The core value of civic engagement is instilled in students, building a lifelong foundation of active citizenry and leadership. Students make an ever-lasting impact at the center and it wouldn't be what it is today without them.
Your gift to the Morgridge Center works like ripples in a pool. It touches lives on campus, locally and globally. The Morgridge Center inspires students, faculty, and staff to give of themselves to benefit people beyond the university.
Thanks to Tashia and John Morgridge, the university and private support, the Morgridge Center has been able to achieve an impressive record in the first 30 years.
We look forward to the next 30 and invite you to help us expand our work around the corner and around the world.
