The American Association of State Colleges and Universities has awarded Fresno State its fifth Excellence and Innovation Award, this time in the category of civic learning and community engagement.
The award recognizes The Humanics Program in the College of Social Sciences and the Jan and Bud Richter Center for Community Engagement and Service-Learning for their commitment to fostering student learning, civic skill building and partnering with the community to solve pressing problems.
With this award, Fresno State ties Northwest Missouri State University for receiving the most awards since AASCU started recognizing member institutions in 2014. The AASCU awards honor universities for their approach to achieving student success, regional and economic development, international education, teacher education, leadership development and diversity.
