IU awarded Honor Roll for community service

The Corporation for National and Community Service has recognized IU-Bloomington’s support of volunteering, service learning and civic engagement in the Bloomington area.

The University was admitted to the 2010 President’s Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll for engaging its students, faculty and staff in community service. The Corporation announced the admission to the Honor Roll earlier this May.

“This is another important affirmation of our engagement and outreach efforts and of the hard work done by our service-learning staff and the students and faculty who participate in these activities,” Provost and Executive Vice President Karen Hanson said in a press release. “It shows that IU-Bloomington has a positive impact well beyond the Sample Gates.”

In addition to IU, the Corporation for National and Community Service admitted 640 other colleges, including IU-Purdue University Indianapolis, which joins the Honor Roll with distinction. A total of 851 institutions applied for the 2010 Honor Roll.
