ONEONTA, N.Y. -- The Corporation for National and Community Service has honored the SUNY College at Oneonta by naming it to the President's Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll for the second year in a row. The honor roll recognizes colleges and universities for leadership in helping to build a culture of service and civic engagement on campuses and throughout the nation.
Established in 2006, the President's Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll is jointly sponsored by the Corporation for National and Community Service, through its Learn and Serve America program, and the Department of Education, the Department of Housing and Urban Development, USA Freedom Corps, Campus Compact, and the President's Council on Service and Civic Participation.
In all, 528 colleges and universities nationwide were named to this year's honor roll for their community-service activities during the 2006-2007 academic year. Recognized for having innovative, effective, and exemplary community-service programs, the honorees were selected based on criteria such as the scope and innovation of service projects, percentage of student participation in service activities, incentives for service, and service-learning courses.
Service opportunities at SUNY-Oneonta are coordinated by the College's Center for Social Responsibility and Community. Founded in 1994, the center works to develop a strong sense of social responsibility in students through a range of service, volunteer, and philanthropic experiences in local, state, national, and international communities.
