History of Award Winners

As has been the tradition, the Faculty and Staff Awards and the Campus and Community Partnership Awards will continue to be a feature of The Service-Learning and Civic Engagement Institute Conference, which will occur on a bi-annual basis. 

Michigan Campus Compact recognizes outstanding community service and service-learning by faculty and staff of our members. Each member campus has the opportunity to nominate one faculty or staff recipient who engages or influences students to be involved in community service or service-learning through modeling, influencing or instruction.  This special recognition of contributions to campus and community highlights the very best in higher education.  The recipient is determined by your campus; your President or Chancellor's office are asked to designate someone on the campus to coordinate the selection process.  Some institutions coordinate this process through their community service or service-learning office.  Others utilize a campus committee to select from those nominated within the institution.
