Abstract	Higher education has been called upon to prepare its graduates to be civically engaged community members. Since the 1980s, faculty have taken up this call. Service learning is a common strategy that educators have adopted to stimulate civic engagement in students. In this study, service learning students and nonservice learning students from eight community colleges were given precourse and postcourse surveys on civic engagement. Results revealed a statistically significant increase in service learners' civic engagement when compared to nonservice learners. The findings are consistent with other higher education studies that use an expanded definition of civic engagement. (As Provided).
