The inaugural winner of the US-national Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter Partnership Award for Campus-Community Collaboration was announced at the concluding plenary session of the annual meeting of the Corporation for National and Community Service, by President Jimmy Carter & Mrs. Rosalynn Carter on June 3, 2008.

Individual projects have been led and supported by 700 students working as part of class projects, resulting in two master's theses and three research articles.

In his remarks, President Carter praised participants and repeated his assessment that the award program is a "sterling jewel" in higher education. In presenting the award, Mrs. Rosalynn Carter said: "We are always inspired by the work of these students and faculty with their community partners and this event has had outstanding examples."
