University Community Academic Advising Program (UCAAP)
The UCAAP Program brings together small groups of first-year students and academic advisors who want their academic work to connect with service in the community. UCAAP participants explore pressing social or political issues, are actively involved in public service, and reflect on the connections between their academic work and the world beyond Brown. The program starts during Orientation, when UCAAP students and academic advisors participate in the Institute on Service and Community. Once the semester is underway, UCAAP students meet monthly for lectures, conferences, dinners, and site visits to learn about service opportunities and to discuss dimensions of community work. Students with prior community service experience are strongly encouraged to apply.
Because UCCAP is limited to 50 first-year students, those who apply to UCAAP should also consider applying for space in a CAP course. The UCAAP application process is online at www.brown.edu/Departments/Swearer_Center/. For more information, call 401 863-3638
