Students come to Michigan with extensive community service.
So said Barry Checkoway last week, after the renaming of the Center for Community Service and Learning in honor of Edward Ginsberg. Although there are a large number of students who participate in high school community service out of personal desire, many students are also motivated by admissions standards and graduation requirements. Upon being accepted to the University, they lose some motivation to volunteer and once classes start and academics become more important. Students shouldn't let service slide. Banking on it Blood, while high in demand, is low in supply.
