U of L Service Organizations Honored

by Campus Awards Ceremony

Lousiville, KY - Each year, the University of Louisville holds an awards ceremony that recognizes outstanding students, campus organizations and one employee for achievement on campus and in the community. Using criteria of leadership, service and involvement, a committee selects recipients from student, faculty and staff nominations. Two programs from the university's Engage Lead Serve Civic Engagement Office received awards in this year's 13th annual student awards ceremonies held on April 16. The How Can We Best Serve (HCWBS) team won an award for Outstanding New Program/Initiative, and Project Sunshine won the Spirit of Service-Organization award.

The Kentucky Campus Compact Student Advisory Board is a group of student representatives from each of the dues-paying KyCC member schools. This board is responsible for communicating thoughts, ideas, and concerns to the executive director and advisory board of KyCC. The primary purpose of this group is to make suggestions on ways to increase awareness of collegiate community service, civic engagement and service learning and improve services provided by KyCC. The board holds a business meeting twice a year and also meets for a College Positive Volunteers training once a year. One student will be appointed from each member institution to serve on the board for a two-year term.

To apply to become a member of the KyCC Student Advisory Board, students must currently be a freshman or sophomore as of spring semester 2012 and demonstrate that they are:

• Well-informed on issues at the University
• Active in community service through their campus
• Be approved by the KyCC Advisory Board Member from their host institution
