Hamline University on the President's Higher Education University Honor Roll
Hamline University is on the 2009 President's Higher Education University Honor Roll. The award, launched in 2006, annually recognizes institutions of higher education for their commitment to and achievement in community service. Last week  the award was presented to Hamline University and Executive in Residence, Jim Scheibel spoke at the presentation. Hamline University has a long tradition of serving the Hamline-Midway neighborhood and Hancock Elementary School. However, recently the School of Business has been active in serving the community through the MBA field study. The field study pairs MBA students in their final term with organizations to help with organizational growth. The field study group has worked with Jeremiah Program, Goodwill/Easter Seals, Fraser Institute, Fraser Academy, StoreFront, and other nonprofits.
