The Honors College encourages its students to engage with their communities through meaningful volunteer service.  To recognize this activity, Honors students are permitted to count one supervised community service experience as an Honors experience.  This requirement is flexible in that it allows students to define the form of service they plan to meet this requirement.  The community service contract outlines the requirements for the Community Service Option.

Some Possible Volunteer Sites Might Include:

• Coleman Professional Services
  
• Hammer and Nails
• Portage County Family and Community Services
• Kent Community Dinners
  
• Kent Historical Society
  
• Loaves and Fishes
  
• MedWish International
• Senior Center of Portage County
• United Way Foundation
• and more...
