Johnson & Wales University is proud to announce that for a second consecutive year, the Charlotte Campus has been named to the President’s Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll. Launched in 2006, the Honor Roll is the highest federal recognition a school can achieve for its commitment to service-learning and civic engagement. Earning this distinction is not easy. Only 528 schools were listed on the Honor Roll for their community service activities during the 2006-2007 academic year. For details on Charlotte campus community service activities click here.
