Lee Honors College

Community Service

Students in the Lee Honors College (LHC) have learned the value of community service and involvement. Alpha Lambda Delta (ALD), a national honors society housed within the LHC community, maintains a major focus on community service. The LHC Honors Student Association (HSA) also plans several events each year that assist and support both our campus and the greater Kalamazoo community. Beginning with the incoming students in fall 2009, all LHC students will be required to complete community service hours each year as part of their LHC graduation requirements.

Service Opportunities

To help students identify service opportunities quickly and easily, we have created a Service Opportunities page to list specific volunteer activities that we encourage you to consider. We also have included a link to the Volunteer Center of Greater Kalamazoo website, where interested persons can search through a variety of opportunities and locate which best meet their goals for service. All service opportunities listed on the LHC page and the Volunteer Center website are considered pre-approved.

Other Opportunities

If there is a service opportunity that you would like to use to fulfill your LHC community service hour requirements but it is not listed on our website or through the Volunteer Center website, you must request pre-approval from an LHC advisor. Please use the Volunteer Activity Authorization Form to submit a volunteer activity for review and approval at least one week prior to your service. Failure to secure pre-approval for activities outside of those metioned on the LHC or Volunteer Center website may result in a loss of LHC community service time credit.

Tracking Your Time

To receive credit for the number of hours you donate to both our campus and the greater Kalamazoo community, you must you print out the Volunteer Time Log and submit it to the honors college office once the log or your activity is complete. Thank you!
