The Charles J. Ping Service Award was designed to recognize and honor undergraduate students for their outstanding leadership and contributions to community service or service-learning on their campus and within their community. These students represent the next generation of civic leaders and problem solvers. The award is named in honor of Charles J. Ping, who served as President of Ohio University from 1975 – 1994. An early supporter and Board Member of Ohio Campus Compact, Ping has been a tireless advocate for campus-community partnerships and increased opportunities for students to become active and engaged citizens. This recognition can be granted annually to one undergraduate per Ohio Campus Compact member institution. Students nominated to be a Charles J. Ping Student Service Award winner will compete with other nominees from across the state for a $500 mini grant, to be given to a nonprofit organization of the winner’s choice.
