The Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS) today announced the 2014 President’s Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll, including the four recipients of the President’s Award, the highest honor a college or university can receive for its commitment to volunteering, service-learning, and civic engagement.

The 2014 Presidential Award winners are California State University, Dominguez Hills in Carson, CA (General Community Service); Loras College in Dubuque, Iowa (Interfaith Community Service); University of Nebraska Omaha in Omaha, NE (Economic Opportunity); and Wheelock College in Boston, MA (Education).

“Service and higher education go hand in hand,” said CNCS CEO Wendy Spencer. “These schools are inspiring young leaders to roll up their sleeves and work alongside community members to solve problems. By recognizing the institutions that are leading the way to achieve meaningful, measurable results for the communities they serve, we also highlight the vital role all colleges and universities play in addressing community challenges and placing more students on a lifelong path of civic engagement.”

In addition to the Presidential Award winners, a total of 766 higher education institutions were named to the 2014 President’s Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll. Of this number, 16 were named as finalists with four in each category.
