Published

A total of 24 Ā鶹AV graduating seniors have earned the Excellence in Service Award.

To be eligible for the recognition, a student must have performed at least 200 hours of verified University-based community service. The award was established in 2012 to acknowledge graduating seniorsā€™ or graduate studentsā€™ leadership and volunteerism.

Students participate in a range of projects, from assisting non-profit organizations with marketing plans to planting vegetation in public green spaces.
