Community Service Learning Awards

The purpose of the Community Service Learning Awards is to honor those students (individuals or student teams), faculty, and community partners whose work exemplifies the “best of the best.” The collaboration necessary to achieve a strong community service learning partnership takes time and effort on the part of all parties, and our annual celebration applauds the work of everyone involved in these challenging and meaningful efforts.
