Service Learning Honors
Lindenwood University embraces community service as an extension of service learning, in which students participate in community service not only to meet the needs of the community, but also to develop their critical thinking skills, commitment to values, and skills for effective citizenship.
Students who acquire 500 hours of qualified community service will receive a designation on their permanent academic transcript to recognize their achievement. In addition, they will receive special recognition in commencement publications and receive a service cord which they can wear at graduation.
Student participants must set up an account through www.orgsync.com. To join this program, students must then go to “Academics” and then “Community Service Transcript Designation Program.” Once approved, students can upload their hours for approval on a routine basis by pressing the “Events” button and then clicking on "Timesheet." Graduating seniors must have achieved 500 documented, approved hours within 60 days of their graduation date to allow time for verification and inclusion in commencement publications. For more information on this program, please contact Dr. Julie Turner in the School of Human Services.
