Every time you perform community service, whether as an individual, as part of an organization, or for a class, it gets recorded when you log your hours at the OCCE. All students graduating with a Certificate, an Associate's or Bachelor's degree are eligible, based on the number of community service hours completed. The Community Service Leader levels are Merit (bronze), Excellence (silver), and Distinction (gold). All students graduating with a Certificate, an Associate's or Bachelor's degree are eligible, based on the number of community service hours completed.
This is how students will be recognized: It will be listed on your co-curricular transcript, which goes to future schools and employers, and will be a wonderful addition to your résumé. Award recipients will be honored at the President's Salute to Graduates Dinner. You will also be honored by President Vancko at the graduation ceremony. You will wear a specially colored honor cord depending on your level of service ( bronze, silver, gold). Your name is announced as an award winner as you graduate.
