Why Reward Students for Service?
In an effort to track student involvement in service activities in the greater Atlanta community, the University has implemented a recognition and rewards program. This program enables the University to:
-
monitor the types of and number of service activities Georgia State students are engaged in
-
evaluate student experiences through student feedback
-
increase contact with community organizations with which the students are involved
-
improve University programs and better coordinate the service endeavors of students
-
thank and congratulate students who volunteer
