Community Engagement Graduation Cord
Community engagement is a core value and we want to make sure we publicly recognize
and thank those who embrace it. We've created a special form of recognition for graduates who volunteer and serve
— the Community Engagement Graduation Cord. To receive the free community engagement cord, you must meet the following eligibility
requirements:
- Undergraduate students must have participated in at least 100 hours of service while at UNT
- Transfer, Graduate, and Doctoral students must have participated in at least 50 hours of service while at UNT
- We ask that students keep track of their volunteer services on their own. Important
things to keep track of include: volunteer organizations/groups you volunteered for,
location of organizations, amount of hours served
- Examples of volunteer services that will count towards receiving a cord include: service on campus, service in the community, activities connected to a service learning
class, service through the CLS (Alternative Breaks, Make a Difference Day, Martin
Luther King Jr. Day of Service, Eaglethon, The BIG Event), unpaid internships/practicum
experiences, participation in philanthropic events (raised money for a charity, collected/donated
food to a local food pantry), participation in a service-related organization (Alpha
Phi Omega, Circle K, etc.)
