Remarks by the President at a Memorial Service for the Victims of the Shooting in Tucson, Arizona

McKale Memorial Center University of Arizona

Tucson, Arizona

THE PRESIDENT:

To the families of those we’ve lost; to all who called them friends; to the students of this university, the public servants who are gathered here, the people of Tucson and the people of Arizona: I have come here tonight as an American who, like all Americans, kneels to pray with you today and will stand by you tomorrow.

There is nothing I can say that will fill the sudden hole torn in your hearts. But know this: The hopes of a nation are here tonight. We mourn with you for the fallen. We join you in your grief. And we add our faith to yours that Representative Gabrielle Giffords and the other living victims of this tragedy will pull through.

Ask Congress to Support Service on MLK Day On this 25th anniversary of MLK Day, please join ServiceNation in ask-ing Congress to support service. Take a minute today to write your representatives, and ask them for full funding for the Serve America Act. Tell them you see the direct connections between federal funding and local impact. Named after a true champion of service, the Edward M. Kennedy Serve America Act was passed into law on April 21, 2009 with bipartisan support and was the largest expansion of community and national service in over 75 years. Within the act were provisions to increase the number of volunteers from 75,000 to 250,000, with the expansion of programs like AmeriCorps and the introduction of 4 new programs with a focus on education, health care, energy and vet-erans. There is also a special focus on engaging students and retirees in volunteer work by encouraging service learning programs in high schools and colleges and establishing an alumni corps of volunteers. Visit ServiceNation and let your representative know how much you care about service by sending a letter about the Serve America Act. Then get your friends involved by sharing this with them on facebook and twitter (when you hit send, we'll show you how).

HWS Selected as one of 115 Institutions to receive presitigous Carnegie Community

Engagement Classification http://classifications.carnegiefoundation.org/downloads/2010_classified_institutions.pdf

In January 2010 the call for applications for Carnegie's elective Community Engagement Classification was announced. Interested institutions were asked to register to apply by March 1, 2010. Three-hundred and five (305) institutions registered and on April 1 applications were sent to those col-leges and universities. By the Sept. 1 deadline, one-hundred and fifty-one (151) institutions had withdrawn from the application process, primarily de-claring a lack of readiness for the classification requirements. One hundred and fifty-four (154) institutions did apply and the review process was con-ducted through Dec. 1. The National Advisory Panel served as consultants in the review process to the classification team at the New England Resource Center for Higher Education of John Saltmarsh and Consulting Scholar Amy Driscoll. One hundred and fifteen (115) institutions were successfully classified in Com-munity Engagement, while thirty-two (32) institutions were not classified in this process. Five (5) campuses that had previously received the classifica-tion under the category of Outreach and Partnerships added the category of Curricular Engagement. One (1) campus that had previously received the classification under the category of Curricular Engagement added the cate-gory of Outreach and Partnerships. (Starting with 2010, there are no longer any separate classification categories – all campus applications have to be successful in both Curricular Engagement and Outreach and Partnerships.) Of the one-hundred and fifteen (115) successfully classified institutions, sixty-one (61) are public institutions and fifty-four (54) are private; thirty-seven (37) are classified in Carnegie's Basic Classification as research uni-versities universities, forty (40) are master's colleges and universities, twenty-eight (28) are baccalaureate colleges, six (6) are community col-leges, and two (4) institutions have a specialized focus - arts, medicine, technology. The classified institutions represent campuses in thirty-four (34) states.
