CHENEY, Wash. – Eastern Washington University has once again been named to the 2014 President’s Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll, an award presented by the U.S. Department of Education and Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS).
EWU is one of just 98 colleges and universities nationally to receive a certificate for its leadership in developing community service programs on campus. This is the second consecutive year Eastern has been nationally recognized by the Department of Education for its commitment to volunteer service.
The Honor Roll acknowledges higher education institutions like EWU that reflect the values of exemplary community service and achieve meaningful outcomes in their communities.
Volunteer efforts at Eastern are are led by the Office of Community Engagement, which organizes important engagement efforts such as the Eagle UP! community service day for incoming students, participation in Spokane’s annual MLK Day parade and the Eagle Days of Service for student clubs each quarter.
These programs align with EWU’s mission statement, which is focused on student success: EWU expands opportunities for personal transformation through excellence in learning.
