Campus Compact for New Hampshire will recognize over 60 recipients of this year’s Presidents’ Awards at our annual Presidents’ Awards Luncheon on April 10, 2012.  For more information, click here.

National Campus Compact has announced 162 recipients of the Newman Civic Fellows Award.  New Hampshire has 11 students from colleges and universities around the state being honored with this distinction.  Click here for a complete list of New Hampshire recipients.

While many of their peers headed south for vacations in the sun, hundreds of students from New Hampshire colleges and universities chose to work on community projects rather than their tans over the March school break.  In all, 537 college students participated in 48 alternative spring break projects within NH, across the US and abroad.  Students working with dozens of national and local community organizations chose projects where one week of sustained effort would make a lasting difference.  Read more here.
