Community Service

Community service is an important component of the Kugelman Honors Program student experience. Students contribute to the campus and local communities by actively engaging in service and developing valuable leadership skills.

Before graduating as a Kugelman Honors Scholar, Honors requires students to complete focused community service. Students can complete community service at their own pace and are encouraged to participate consistently in service activities throughout their time as undergraduates.

Honors students are responsible for documenting their completed service hours. They must include locations, dates, the amount of time they volunteered/served, and brief descriptions of their service activities. Once they reach the required hours threshold--40 for two-year pathway and 80 for four-year pathway students--they can submit their log to the Honors Advisor, who will mark the requirement as complete on their degree audit.

The garden helps develop, cultivate, assess, and sustain a network of mutually beneficial community partnerships by producing a large and growing network of community partners committed to food sustainability, nutrition, and student development.
