Mention Jane Boyle’s name to her family, friends and teachers and one of the first things they’ll likely tell you is, “She’s a giver.”
This kind of commitment to service has earned her one of this year’s 31 Outstanding Community Impact Awards from the Michigan Campus Compact, a coalition of college and university presidents.
I have always had a drive to serve others and work for the common good. But I never fully realized that I could go beyond volunteerism--that my opinion and hard work could influence policy decisions. My views changed when I sat in the office of one of my legislators in Washington, DC.
-Amanda Coffin, University of Maine at Farmington, Campus Compact student leader
