The CCBL is the connective tissue between Wofford and its surrounding communities – facilitating, deepening, connecting and championing trust-based mutually beneficial, sustainable campus/ community collaborations that:

Enrich teaching, learning, scholarship, innovation and research
Strengthen democratic values and civic responsibility
Prepare effective, informed, engaged citizens; and
Address critical societal and environmental issues, contributing to the common good.

The CCBL creates what Ernest Boyer (1998) called, “a special climate in which the academic and civic cultures communicate more continuously and creatively with each other.”
