Salve Honored
NEWPORT - The Corporation for National and Community Service recently honored Salve Regina University with a place on the President’s Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll for exemplary service efforts and service to America’s communities.
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 were 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.
Salve Regina University considers participation in community service a visible way to live the mission of the institution. All new students participate in a service-learning experience (10 hour minimum) in the Newport area during their first year.
The Honor Roll is a program of the Corporation, in collaboration with the Department of Education, the Department of Housing and Urban Development, and the President’s Council on Service and Civic Participation. The President’s Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll is presented during the annual conference of the American Council on Education.
