Community service honor roll cites JMU
James Madison
University earned a place on the 2013 President's Higher Education Community
Service Honor Roll with Distinction for commitment to service and civic
engagement on campus and in the nation.
The annual honor
roll "highlights the role colleges and universities play in solving
community problems and placing more students on a lifelong path of civic
engagement by recognizing institutions that achieve meaningful, measureable outcomes
in the communities they serve," according to an announcement from the
Corporation for National and Community Service, the body that administers the
honor roll.
Other Virginia
schools joining JMU on the honor roll with distinction are Virginia Commonwealth
University, Washington and Lee University and Emory and Henry College. In
addition, 19 Virginia schools were selected for the honor roll.
JMU has been on
the honor roll since the list was established in 2006.
