The University of St. Thomas Center for Intercultural Learning and Community Engagement (CILCE) and Office for Service-Learning hosted their annual Community Engagement Celebration on April 27.

The event brought together community members and St. Thomas faculty, staff, and students to reflect on this year’s partnerships, share ideas to strengthen and sustain their common efforts, and celebrate accomplishments in community-based learning.

Following the reflection and discussion sessions, this year’s outstanding community engagement and service-learning award recipients were recognized for their contributions and also received financial awards.  Several University of St. Thomas School of Law faculty and students were honored at this event, including:

     Professor Nekima Levy-Pounds, Faculty Service-Learning Award
     Hugo Chan, Outstanding Student Service-Learning Award
     Roscoe Heaton and Billy Baker, Graduate Student Community Engagement Award
