Making a Difference

Earlier this week, NC State students' commitment to service was recognized on a national level, as the university was named to the President's Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll – the highest federal recognition a school can achieve for its commitment to service-learning and civic engagement. It's another sign of NC State's continued mission to serve those on campus, across our state and around the world.

Called to Serve

Growing up as a middle-schooler in Sanford, N.C. John Coggin ('09) began to volunteer at the local soup kitchen as a way to love those less fortunate in the community around him. But it's Coggin's work with NC State's Presbyterian Campus Ministry and international hunger relief organization Stop Hunger Now that has given him a more global perspective in the fight against hunger – one that was recognized last week when the NC State senior was named the nation's first recipient of the President William Jefferson Clinton Hunger Leadership Award.
