PC honored for service

Providence College made the honor roll last year.

The school is one of nearly 530 schools across the country that made the President's Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll, which is sponsored by the Corporation for National and Community Service, a public-private organization, and a handful of federal agencies including the Department of Education.

The honor roll recognizes colleges and university community service programs based on about a dozen factors, including:

- Percentage of total student enrollment engaged in community service activities and service learning courses

- Requirements for academic service-learning as part of the core curriculum

- Percentage of students enlisted in the Army, Navy, or Air Force ROTC

- Percentage of alumni in the Peace Corps

In addition to the Corporation for National and Community Service, sponsors include 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.
