President's Award for Service to the Community
The President’s office and Civic & Community Engagement select recipients of the President’s Award for Service to the Community. Each year one award is given to a student and one to a faculty or staff member who have demonstrated a sustained commitment to service and made a significant and measurable impact on our community. Please note that because the student winner is recognized at convocation, students should be enrolled at W&M in the upcoming fall semester.
The award carries a prize of $500, which is donated in the name of the award recipient to a community organization of the recipient's choice. The winners are recognized at opening convocation.
Any member of the W&M community (student, faculty or staff, full or part time) may apply; students should be enrolled in the upcoming fall semester. The impact of the applicant's service need not be wide, but focused and reflecting a sustained commitment to a small group, community, or social issue.
