Higher education institutions play a crucial role in shaping well-educated and engaged citizens, emphasizing the importance of civic responsibility, critical thinking, and the ability to engage constructively in societal discourse. By fostering an environment of open dialogue and debate, higher education prepares students to be active participants in democratic processes, ensuring they emerge as individuals committed to contributing positively to society and advancing democratic values.

Below is an overview of some campus activities:
- Butler is committed to citizenship and community through our Indianapolis Community Requirement, a part of Core Curriculum that involves every Butler undergraduate student in reciprocal community partnerships wherein they integrate classroom knowledge with active experiences in the Indianapolis community.
- At Butler we believe that informed and active citizens have the knowledge to manage the political, social, and economic factors affecting their neighborhoods and lives. Butler is proud of its Carnegie Classification for Community Engagement and signing on with the College Presidents for Civic Preparedness is yet another sign of our commitments.
