Gold Service Award
Students who meet one of the following criteria during their enrollment are presented the Gold Service Award which includes receipt of a certificate and a special pin that may be worn on the graduate’s robe at commencement. Additionally, recipients are encouraged to note this achievement on their Handshake profile so that potential employers may be made aware of their commitment to the community and civic engagement.
To earn the award a student must complete one of the following:
- 100+ hours of community service AND at least one residential service project
- 250+ hours of community service
While students may complete both community and campus service, it is only community service that is counted toward the Gold Award. The residential service project is a service experience of at least 3 consecutive days away from the student’s residence (home or college).
