The year’s 2020-2021 were different and challenging in many unexpected ways. Through it all, our great state of Maine has seen a number of students rise to the occasion to meet the needs of our community. From working at testing sites to serving as EMTs and nurses directly on the frontlines, all while balancing a student course load, these community health heroes have played an integral role in keeping Maine safe. Maine Campus Compact’s (MCC) Community Health Hero Student Award recognizes three undergraduate college students for exemplary civic engagement directly related to the public health crisis as a result of the COVID-19 Pandemic. These students are inspiring and engaging leaders addressing pressing community health needs.

The Community Partner of the Year Award recognizes an exceptional community partner organization and its staff for their exemplary partnership with an MCC member institution. Through their reciprocal partnership, students learn about challenges in their community and are empowered to tackle them while the partners are receiving valuable services and resources. These community partners are co-educators for students; they serve as a laboratory for community-based research; and they provide a venue in which students perform community service and deepen their knowledge of and connection with the communities in which they work and live. Through their work with faculty and campus staff, the community partner helps students become well-informed, engaged, and productive members of society, who are better prepared to provide leadership and service to support their communities.

The Corporate Partner of the Year Award recognizes an outstanding corporate partner for their contributions and commitment to strengthening campuses and communities in Maine.

The corporate partner may: innovatively train and host your students as interns, better prepare students to be responsible and contributing members in the workforce, provide resources to help implement your community service projects, and/or provide support for community-based research. The corporate partner helps amplify the sustainability and effectiveness of community-based programs that deepen students’ knowledge of and passion for their local communities.
