GVSU again receives national recognition for community service
Mar 14, 2012
Grand Valley State University has been named to the President’s
Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll for the fourth year in a
row. The selection to the Honor Roll is recognition from the highest
levels of the federal government for commitment to service and civic engagement.
The 2012 Honor Roll recognizes higher education institutions
that reflect the values of exemplary community service and achieve
meaningful outcomes in their communities. The recipients were
announced at the American Council on Education’s 94th Annual Meeting
on March 12 in Los Angeles.
More than 700 colleges and universities were named to the Honor
Roll. Institutions were picked for their scope and innovation of
service projects, percentage of student participation incentives for
service, and the extent to which the school offers academic
service-learning courses.
The Corporation for National and Community Service oversees the
Honor Roll award along with the Department of Education, Department of
Housing and Urban Development, Campus Compact and the American Council
on Education.
