President's Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll

The University of Indianapolis has been selected for the 2010 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. UIndy's selection to the Honor Roll is recognition from the highest levels of the federal government of UIndy's commitment to service and civic engagement on campus and in the nation.

Community Engagement Classification

The University of Indianapolis was selected for the 2010 Community Engagement Classification from The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching.

Service-Learning Assessment

We would like to know your thoughts about service-learning. If you would take a few minutes for our survey, we would appreciate it.

Transcript Notation of Student Volunteer Hours

The university is pleased to recognize the students who perform volunteer service. The CPC sends your hours to the Registrar's office who place them on your transcript. In order for documentation to be posted for the current semester, forms must be received by the end of final exam week! Submit the Blue Form to the CPC office (Esch Hall 155), and please don't forget the survey on the back.
