DePaul receives President's Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll With Distinction

The Community Service Honor Roll is the highest federal recognition a school can achieve for its commitment to service learning and civic engagement. DePaul provides students extensive service learning opportunities that are coordinated through the university's Irwin W. Steans Center for Community-based Service Learning and Community Service Studies. Over 2,800 DePaul students took part in service learning programs during the past academic year, providing critical support to scores of social service agencies throughout the Chicago metropolitan area. "Service learning exemplifies the idea that students learn best by doing," said Howard Rosing, executive director of the Steans Center. "Over the 10 years since DePaul first embraced the service-learning concept, we have produced thousands of graduates who have been able to enter the working world better equipped to immediately meet the demands of the non-profit and service sectors."
