Dean's Honor Roll for Social Impact: Recognizing those who make service a priority

Abstract

This presentation discusses the value of service for business school students and how it translates to professional success in corporate settings. The College of Business and Public Administration (CBPA) rolled out the Dean’s Honor Roll for Social Impact during the fall 2021 semester to recognize students who take the initiative to make their communities a priority through service. Business and public administration students who perform and record at least 20 hours of community service, and submit a reflection paper or attend reflection session at the end of the semester, are placed on this honor roll in recognition of their commitment to making a positive societal impact. The honor roll builds on Drake’s long history of service and our students’ commitment to making a difference in the community. The honor roll recipients are highlighted in my remarks and their reflections shared. The steps we took to create the program, including our work with technology partner NobleHour, and the plans we have to build on our initial experience in the fall of 2021 to enhance the program in 2022 are shared.
