Three Baptist-affiliated colleges in North Carolina are among recipients of a national service honor.

Campbell University in Buies Creek, Gardner-Webb University in Boiling Springs and Mars Hill College in Mars Hill were recently announced as recipients of the President’s Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll. The list annually recognizes institutions of higher education across the nation for their commitment to and achievement in community service, and it raises the public’s awareness of the contributions that colleges and their students make to their local communities and the nation.
