BC makes Presidential Community Service Honor Roll Brevard College has been named to the 2009 President’s Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll, the highest federal recognition a college or university can receive for its commitment to volunteering, service-learning and civic engagement. Launched in 2006, the Community Service Honor Roll is the highest federal recognition a school can achieve for its commitment to service-learning and civic engagement. Honorees are chosen based on a series of selection factors including the scope and innovation of service projects, percentage of student participation in service activities, incentives for service and the extent to which the school offers academic service learning courses. “Brevard College’s mission focuses on inspiring students to learn, lead and serve in a diverse and changing world,” said Brevard College President Drew Van Horn. “This recognition is evidence that Brevard College’s students, staff and faculty are deeply committed to community service and to the learning that comes from it.” Brevard College’s commitment to community service extends throughout all of its activities. During the 2008-2009 school year, 531 Brevard College students performed more than 3,150 hours of community service inside and outside of Transylvania County. One whole day during First-Year Student Orientation is committed to community service. Additionally, hundreds of Brevard College students provide service - ranging from food and clothing drives to student mentoring - each semester These activities are coordinated and supported by the College’s Office of Service Initiatives, which is coordinated by Service Initiatives Director Jessica Blanford and Assistant Dean of Students Michelle Harvey, and overseen by Dean of Students Chris Holland. “Congratulations to Brevard College and its students for their dedication to service and commitment to improving their local communities,” said Patrick Corvington, CEO of the Corporation for National and Community Service, which administers the annual Honor Roll award. “Our nation’s students are a critical part of the equation and vital to our efforts to tackle the most persistent challenges we face. They have achieved impactful results and demonstrated the value of putting knowledge into practice to help renew America through service.” College students make a significant contribution to the volunteer sector; in 2009, 3.16 million students performed more than 300 million hours of service, according to the Volunteering in America study released by the Corporation. Each year, the Corporation invests more than $150 milhon in fostering a culture of service on college campuses through grants awarded by its programs; the education awards that AmeriCorps members receive at the conclusion of their term of service to pay for college; and through support of training, research, recognition, and other initiatives to spur college service. The Corporation oversees the Honor Roll in collaboration with the Department of Education, the Department of Housing and Urban Development, Campus Compact and the American Council on Education. The Corporation for National and Community Service is a federal agency that engages more five milhon Americans in service through its Senior Corps, AmeriCorps, and Learn and Serve America programs, and leads President Obama’s national call to service initiative.
