Meaghan Walters, of Lake Orion and a junior at Albion College, was selected to receive an award from Michigan Campus Compact (MCC) for her dedication and commitment to community service.
Walters was awarded the Heart and Soul Award, which is given to students to recognize their time, effort and personal commitment through service.
Each year, MCC awards students from member colleges and universities across the state for their outstanding commitment to service-learning and civic engagement.
Four types of awards are given: the Outstanding Community Impact Award, the Commitment to Service Award, the Heart and Soul Award and the Michigan Humanitarian Award. Awardees were selected from a nomination pool of nearly 600 students. This year, 159 students from 23 member campuses won awards.
MCC honored Walters and all the other award recipients at the twelfth annual Outstanding Student Service Awards, held earlier this month at the Holiday Inn-South in Lansing.
