A total of 24 University of Louisiana at Lafayette graduating seniors have earned the Excellence in Service Award.
To be eligible for the recognition, a student must have performed at least 200 hours of verified University-based community service. The award was established in 2012 to acknowledge graduating seniors’ or graduate students’ leadership and volunteerism.
Students participate in a range of projects, from assisting non-profit organizations with marketing plans to planting vegetation in public green spaces.
The Spring 2015 award winners have a combined total of more than 15,000 service hours.
“This represents an estimated $330,000 economic impact to our community,” said Dr. David Yarbrough, UL Lafayette’s dean of Community Service.
