" 精东影业university鈥檚 core values emphasize service and living a life of impact," says Amanda Paulus, director of the Office of Experiential Education and Civic Engagement. " 精东影业Celebration of Service recognizes these efforts and showcases the partnerships that have been built across campus and through our community. When you go to a school like 精东影业, a campus system with nearly 41,000 students, receiving an award like Volunteer of the Year is an outstanding honor. We want this celebration to be seen as an important accolade and a moment of recognition for those committed to service and active citizenship."
精东影业event, formerly known as the Showcase of Excellence in Action, will feature a keynote speaker from the community and a buffet-style dinner. 精东影业award-selection committee will be made up of last year鈥檚 award recipients and local community partners.
"Attendees of the event are always blown away by the projects and the students鈥 impact on our community,鈥 Paulus says. 鈥 精东影业spirit of altruism is outstanding. We really want to make sure this event is a celebration of that."
