The Morgridge Center for Public Service is now accepting online nominations for two awards: Excellence in Civic Engagement Student Award and Outstanding Community Partner Award.

Excellence in Civic Engagement Student Award: This award is designed to recognize a student who has made community and civic engagement integral to his/her college experience. The award also honors student involvement in the community that promotes strong reciprocal partnerships with community agencies and makes a significant impact. The student award recipient receives a $500 stipend and will be featured in the Memorial Union Kiosk and on the Morgridge Center web site. Both graduate and undergraduate students are eligible for this award.

Outstanding Community Partner Award: This award was founded to recognize and honor the vital role of commitment from our community partners in this collaboration to increase student volunteerism. Any non-profit agency or community partner with UW-Madison who has provided students with opportunities in volunteerism, service-learning or civic engagement is eligible for the community partner award. The community partner award recipient receives a $1000 award for their agency and will also be featured on the Morgridge Center website.
