Spotlights on Service

Each year the CCE honors individuals and projects in the areas of service-learning and community engagement. The CCE's Spotlights on Service (formerly Activities, Awards & Recognitions in Community Engagement) publication celebrates these awardees, while also sharing CCE initiatives and activities. In the following pages, we seek to place a spotlight on some of the most notable examples of community engagement from our stellar faculty, students, and community partners. We believe projects like these can play a key role in bringing our community closer to a just, inclusive democracy and society. It is our hope they inspire you.
