Campus Museums of Service

Recognizing and honoring service and community engagement on campuses and in communities through campus-based exhibitions.

In partnership with the National Museum and Center for Service, the Campus Museums of Service Initiative offers tools for colleges and universities to create exhibitions recognizing and honoring community engagement and service on campuses and in communities.

Students, faculty, and staff from academic institutions across the U.S. are partnering with local and global communities to address today’s most pressing social concerns in various ways. The Campus Museums of Service Design Project aims to recognize, elevate, and celebrate the students, faculty, staff, and alums engaging in and with their community—and inspire more people to get involved. By providing campuses with necessary tools and inspiration to create exhibitions, we aspire to a future where every college and university hosts an exhibition that honors and inspires action in service to the public good in local, national, and global communities.
