UW-Stout is one of 181 AASCU institutions, representing more than 1.5 million students, participating in the American Democracy Project for Civic Engagement. The project is a national initiative that seeks to foster informed civic engagement in the United States. The goals of the project are:

1. to increase the number of undergraduate students who understand and are committed to engaging in meaningful civic actions by asking participating institutions to review and restructure academic programs and processes, extracurricular programs and activities, and the institutional culture; and
   
   
2. to focus the attention of policy makers and opinion leaders on the civic value of the college experience.
