Judson named to community service honor roll

Judson College was named to the 2013 President’s Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll by the Corporation for National and Community Service. 

The Honor Roll recognizes higher education institutions that reflect the values of exemplary community service and achieve meaningful outcomes in their communities. 

The award winners were announced at the American Council on Education annual conference in Washington. The Corporation for National and Community Service reported some 690 schools were named to this year’s honor roll. A total of seven Alabama colleges were included on the honor roll, including Judson.

The honor roll, launched in 2006, is administered by the Corporation for National and Community Service in collaboration with the U.S. Departments of Education and Housing and Urban Development, Campus Compact and the American Council on Education. 

Susan Jones, Judson’s director of Faith-Based Service and Learning, said, “We’ve believed for a long time that the Judson experience prepares students to change the world in a way that is at least comparable to, if not better than, any educational experience in the country. The significance of the Honor Roll commendation is that an outside, objective group also believes that fact.”
