Presidential Citizen Scholars Program
PCS Overview
The Presidential Citizen Scholars (PCS) Program prepares students to be community leaders through civic scholarship and community action. Over three semesters, Scholars meet with members of the community to identify and research an issue that will culminate in a PCS Capstone Project. Scholars are supported through Salisbury University’s Institute for Public Affairs and Civic Engagement (PACE) and the Office of the President. SU’s highest purpose is "to empower students with knowledge, skills, and core values that contribute to lifelong learning and active citizenship in a democratic society.” This elite program builds on SU’s highest purpose by offering students of all majors and disciplines the opportunity to engage in the life of the community, develop habits of democratic citizenship, and become experienced civic leaders.
