When most people think about the word “service,” they think about community service, meaning volunteer work or providing services free of charge.  While community service is a wonderful thing, the members of the Cormier Honors College at Longwood University provided a different kind of “service”.

Rather than community service the students of the Cormier Honors College are constantly looking for ways to do good and acts of kindness. This is true of the majority of Longwood students, but it is especially true of Cormier Honors College students. Honors students are always looking out for their fellow community members.  The acts of kindness could be anything from holding the door open for another student, writing thank you cards to their professors or helping a provide encouragement to fellow students. Honors students are constantly looking for ways to serve their Longwood community.

While acts of kindness is a big thing in the Honors Community, community service is also available. For example, during the honors retreat, I volunteered to help paint a science mural. Longwood Cormier Honors does a good job of helping students provide service in their daily lives.
