The President’s Honor Roll recognizes institutions that support exemplary community service programs, both curricular and co-curricular.  It is the highest federal recognition an institution can receive for its commitment to community, service-learning, and civic engagement.  Ohio State was recognized for general community service, as well as programs focused on education and economic opportunity.
