Civic engagement

We had a  panel discussion with some members of the Seguin community and a couple people on the board here at TLU. Our speakers pointed out that in a community that is in an ever increasing technological environment some citizens were not all that comfortable with computers. The  panel came to the conclusion that we should hold some civic engagement class periods and help the local community gain a little more knowledge when it came to computers. The civic engagement class meeting were very beneficial and we had quite a citizens learn some difficult tasks, Facebook and even how to use just a mouse. I feel that the civic engagement was hugely successful and served the need of the community members well.
