New Action Submission Guide
New Action Submission Guide
Know an activity, resource, program, or opportunity that should be on the Scorecard? Send it our way.
Help us discover new ways for students to engage.
The Civic Health Scorecard is designed to grow with the UW community. Students, staff, faculty, and community members can recommend new ways for students to learn, participate, connect, and contribute.
Your idea does not need to be fully developed before you submit it. Give us the information you know, and the CELE Center can review and develop it from there.
Is it a Civic Action or an upcoming event?
The easiest way to decide is whether students can complete the opportunity over time or whether it happens on a specific date.
|
Ongoing Opportunity
Submit a Civic Action
An activity, resource, program, or opportunity students can complete independently or over time.
Examples: volunteering, learning resources, civic conversations, ongoing programs, or individual actions.
|
Specific Date or Time
Submit an Upcoming Event
An opportunity happening on a specific date or during a defined period of time.
Examples: workshops, lectures, volunteer events, forums, or community gatherings.
|
Submitting an idea is simple.
You do not need to write the final Scorecard action yourself. Start with the information you already have.
|

You don't need to write the final Scorecard action.
Use the submission form to tell us about the opportunity. Be as specific as you can, but your idea does not need to be fully developed.
CELE will review the information and can adapt the language, structure, and instructions if the opportunity moves forward as a Scorecard action.
We'll take it from there.
New actions are reviewed before they are published. We may contact you if we need more information.
