Service Medallions
Our Way of Saying Thank You: Students with 100 or more network-verified hours through our ServeUTK platform, prior to graduation, will receive a Service Medallion to wear during their commencement exercises, to commemorate their selfless service to our community. Medallions are only awarded during the term in which a student is graduating.
Service Levels:
- Gold Medallion: 225 Hours or More
- Silver Medallion: 175-224 Hours
- Bronze Medallion: 100-174 Hours
Service Medallion Eligibility:
To be eligible to receive a service medallion, all impact hours must be:
- Verified by the nonprofit you served alongside and
- Network-verified by JCLS staff
Hours must be verified by the following dates:
- December 2024 Graduates: November 1, 2024
- May 2025 Graduates: April 1, 2025
The JCLS encourages students to enter their hours as soon as they complete service so your verifier has plenty of time to approve hours before these deadlines.
Please be sure your impacts are shared with the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, or the hours will not be visible to the staff and your request will be delayed. To learn how to check your sharing settings, click here.
