To receive the award, students are required to participate in volunteer service, keep a reflective service journal, lead a major service project, and complete service-learning courses. Once a student completes the program he or she receives a service-learning distinction notation on their transcript, cords to wear at graduation, a certificate of completion, and an invitation to attend the Center for Service and Learning award and recognition banquet.
