Bellarmine University, Berea College, Centre College, Lindsey Wilson College, and the University of the Cumberlands were all recently named to the 2009 President’s Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll.

Established in 2006, the President’s Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll annually recognizes colleges and universities for their commitment to and achievement in community service. These five AIKCU members are among more than 700 colleges and universities nationwide to receive this prestigious federal honor administered by the Corporation for National and Community Service.

Honorees are chosen based on a series of selection factors including the scope and innovation of service projects, percentage of student participation in service activities, incentives for service and the extent to which the school offers academic service-learning courses.

AIKCU congratulates Bellarmine, Berea, Centre, Lindsey Wilson, and the University of Cumberlands upon this national recognition for their service to their communities, the Commonwealth, and the world.
