Congratulations to the Office of Experiential Learning, Service Learning, the Office of Student Involvement, Volunteer UCF, Fraternity & Sorority Life, and many others whose dedication to service-learning resulted in this recognition.

He has also been named a John Glen Service Learning Scholar, has been awarded the Gulf South Summit Award for research contributions to service-learning, and has been the recipient of a Faculty Excellence Award in Undergraduate Teaching at UCF.
