Knox has a long and treasured history of community involvement. When the College was founded in 1837, students split their time between working in the fields and working in the classrooms.
Through an emphasis on hands-on experiential learning and a goal of making every student a responsible steward of the environment and a responsible citizen, we are always looking to the broader world beyond our campus.
Giving back
The Center for Community Service opened in 2006 through a grant from the Ellen Browning Scripps Foundation. During its first year, students donated more than 7,000 hours of volunteer service, while faculty and staff have worked in partnership with more than 60 local organizations. The Center:
"Horizons: A Celebration of Student Inquiry, Imagination, and Creativity" featured student research presentations in the humanities, sciences and social sciences on May 5, and student presentations in music in on May 8.
"Horizons: A Celebration of Student Inquiry, Imagination, and Creativity" at Knox College in May 2012 included award presentations in art, art history, fiction, poetry and playwriting.
Horizons 2012 featured student work in the performing arts -- dance and music -- including the Knox College Choir's world premiere of "Youth and Pioneers: An Ode" and the formal Spring Dance Concert.
