UConn is submitting an application to the President’s Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll, an award which recognizes higher education institutions’ commitment to student community service and service-learning.

In order to meet the application deadline, we request that faculty and staff who engage students in community service and service-learning complete the following survey by Monday, February 17, 2014: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/UConnHonorRoll2014.
