The 2012 U.S. President’s Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll with Distinction Nominee

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 for the award are chosen based on a series of selection factors including 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.

CGCC has been named for the 6th year in a row to the President’s Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll with Distinction, the highest federal recognition a college or university can receive for its commitment to volunteering, service-learning and civic engagement.

Of the 513 colleges and universities from across the U.S. named to the Honor Roll, CGCC was one of just 110 that received the recognition of Honor Roll with Distinction, and the only Arizona community college to receive this honor.

CGCC engaged students and staff in more than 85,000 hours of service during the 2010-11 academic year. In addition to students participating in academic service learning related to their curricula, including English, biology, communications, business, education, nutrition, sociology, psychology, and mathematics, many clubs and organizations such as Phi Theta Kappa, the HEAT Club (the Hands-On Environmental Action Team), and the HELP Club (Hands Enriching Life Program) also devoted hundreds of hours to their community engaged in various fund-raising and service projects.

Congratulations to the entire service-learning team, Alison Whiting, Tiffany Kimble, Gloria Milburn, Beth Ann Wright, Vanessa Sandoval, Patrick Williams, Jennifer Spring, Mike Greene, KT Campbell, and Jessie Leach, and to all of the faculty and staff who participate in CGCC’s amazing service-learning program.
