About the Outstanding Student Service Awards
In order to recognize undergraduate and graduate students at MCC member institutions who have demonstrated outstanding dedication to community service and civic engagement throughout their educational career, all are invited to nominated students for MCC's Outstanding Student Service Awards. The MCC network has honored more than 700 students in the past eleven years. We are delighted to continue this annual tradition to commend students for devoting their time and talents to building stronger, safer and connected communities. Student nominees will be considered for one of the following awards:
The OUTSTANDING COMMUNITY IMPACT AWARD honors up to five undergraduate and one graduate student in Michigan who have made service an integral part of their college experience by their significant contribution to community resources. The recipient’s efforts build partnerships between their campuses and communities to demonstrate personal reflection and a commitment to lifelong engagement.
The COMMITMENT TO SERVICE AWARD recognizes one student per MCC member campus for either the breadth or the depth of his/her community involvement or service experience(s) and the demonstration of meaningful reflection. Recipients, for example, may have devoted multiple years to one program or have demonstrated their leadership by making multiple contributions to her/his institution and community through community service involvement.
The HEART AND SOUL AWARD recognizes undergraduate and graduated students for their time, effort and personal commitment to their community through service.
The MICHIGAN HUMANITARIAN AWARD recognizes three undergraduate students who demonstrate an innovative approach to building or enhancing campus-based efforts to address community needs using diverse strategies (service, service-learning, policy work, advocacy, etc.).
