Become a member of your student organization or through the Center for Student Involvement on Get Involved to log your service time and commitment.

The PVSA will be awarded annually, based on the service hours logged between April 1-March 31 each year. In order for hours to count toward this award, they must be submitted through Get Involved on or before March 31.

The President’s Volunteer Service Award medallions will be awarded at the Campus Leaders Ceremony in April. Every hour makes a difference!
