GVSU receives national honor for community service

Grand Valley has been named to the President’s Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll. The President’s Honor Roll is the highest federal recognition an institution of higher education can receive for its community service work and civic engagement. 

The 2015 Honor Roll recognizes higher education institutions that reflect the values of exemplary community service and achieve meaningful outcomes in their communities. 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.

Grand Valley was also named an Interfaith Community Service finalist, an award of high distinction. Grand Valley was one of the top four finalist, chosen from a pool of 750 applicants. The Interfaith and Community Service challenge invites higher education institutions to commit to a year of interfaith cooperation and community service programming on campus.

Since 2008, Grand Valley has been nationally recognized for community service (including service-learning) through the Honor Roll.

The President’s Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll is an initiative of the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS).
