King’s College, Misericordia University and Keystone College are among 43 Pennsylvania colleges and more than 700 colleges nationwide recognized for their commitment to volunteering, service-learning, and civic engagement.

The Corporation for National and Community Service, which administers the annual Honor Roll award, recognized the colleges and universities for their impact on issues from poverty and homelessness to environmental justice. It announced the list on Thursday.

King’s has made the list of honorees each of the four years the organization has issued one.

The Corporation oversees the Honor Roll in collaboration with the Department of Education, Department of Housing and Urban Development, Campus Compact, and the American Council on Education. Honorees are chosen based on a series of selection factors including scope and innovation of service projects, percentage of student participation in service activities, incentives for service, and the extent to which the school offers academic service-learning courses.
