At LIU, we are taking bold new steps to enhance what it means to earn a college degree in the 21st Century. We are championing engaged learning opportunities that challenge our students to develop their talents by solving real problems, and we are helping to produce socially engaged, intellectually vibrant, global leaders and thinkers.

LIU Cares, a multi-campus, multi-dimensional initiative, provides access to evolving and active partnerships with community agencies and organizations, and is designed to connect LIU’s 20,000 students, 3,500 faculty and staff, and 200,000 alumni to the power of service through volunteerism and community engagement—locally, nationally, and globally.

LIU Cares is designed to become a comprehensive platform for students, faculty, alumni and staff to access community-minded initiatives. LIU Cares exists to facilitate conversation about what it means to be community-minded in the digital age, and about how digital technologies and tools can best serve the people who use them.

The mission of LIU Cares is to provide a destination for individuals at LIU to develop thoughtful approaches to community engagement, service learning and discovery.
