Service Requirement

Because Honors students have a reputation for generous service, participants in the SAGES curriculum do not take the standard service learning course, Philosophy of Service, required by the regular General Education package of Andrews University. Instead, the J.N. Andrews Honors Program asks its students to log 12 hours of service per academic year. Any form of voluntary service to the University or larger community will be acceptable provided students do not receive payment or academic credit for the activity. Honors students fill out the "Honors Service, Citizenship, and Leadership Submission Form" to account for their hours. That form is available on the Honors website or at the Honors office. The signature of a supervising or organizing individual is required to verify the service hours. Honors service forms should be turned in to the administrative assistant at the Honors office; student service hours are logged and monitored by the Honors office.
