Each year, Duke Service-Learning recognizes one graduating senior, one faculty member, and one community partner for their commitment to the ideals of service‐learning through the Betsy Alden Outstanding Service-Learning Awards. Graduating seniors, faculty members, and community partners who have participated in at least one service-learning course at Duke are eligible to receive an Alden Award. Any member of the Duke community (including students) or a community partner organization may nominate an eligible student, faculty member, or community partner (individual or organization) for a Betsy Alden Outstanding Service-Learning Award.
