The Washington Monthly has once again recognized Transylvania University as one of the nation’s top 10 liberal arts colleges for promoting public service \u2014 and the school has catapulted 33 spots in the overall rankings in just the past two years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"National
National liberal arts colleges ranked by public service (Washington Monthly, “2020 College Guide and Rankings”<\/a>)<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Released this week, the “2020 College Guide and Rankings<\/a>” lists the school as ninth in community service, reflecting Transylvania’s strong ties to local nonprofits, national organizations like the Peace Corps and student voting initiatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“A key part of living a meaningful life is to go beyond yourself \u2014 to do things for others,” Transylvania President Brien Lewis said. “That our institution continues to be recognized as one of the nation’s leaders in community and national service is not just something to celebrate, but a call to further action.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Echoing the university’s motto \u2014 \u201cIn that light, we pass on the light\u201d \u2014 Lewis recently told the incoming class<\/a> that it\u2019s Transylvania’s mission to help them lead meaningful lives: “Receive the light we have to offer, and pass on the light to a world that needs it more than ever.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The university’s Office of Campus and Community Engagement<\/a> plays a major role in helping students fulfill their civic responsibility. This includes community work-study<\/a> placement, which the Washington Monthly weighs when ranking schools. Serving at a wide variety of local nonprofits \u2014 from Carnegie Center for Literacy and Learning to Habitat for Humanity \u2014 also provides learning opportunities for students while supporting the school\u2019s liberal arts mission<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The percentage of alumni in the Peace Corps is another factor in the Washington Monthly\u2019s service recognition \u2014 one alumnus even advocates for the agency\u2019s mission<\/a> as a government relations officer. And Transylvania has established a formal partnership with the Peace Corps through a prep program<\/a>, combining coursework with leadership training and projects in the local community<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rachel Johnson \u201916 interned with Kentucky Refugee Ministries and the Carnegie Center at Transylvania before serving in Myanmar through the Peace Corps<\/a>. “The resources and connections that Transy offers within the Lexington community were integral in my preparation for a meaningful Peace Corps experience,” she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Transylvania students also participate in alternative breaks, where instead of heading to the beach or hanging out at home, they serve others. Last fall the school was recognized<\/a> by the American Civic Collaboration Awards for its efforts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, when ranking colleges for service, the Washington Monthly considers data from the National Study of Learning, Voting, and Engagement, which last year released a report<\/a> showing increases in Transylvania students registering to vote and following through with actual voting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Billing itself as a \u201csocially conscious alternative,\u201d the Washington Monthly ranks colleges on what they do for the country as a whole. \u201cThese new rankings are especially important now, with mass unemployment, the inequalities exposed by COVID-19, and the nationwide protests against racial injustice,\u201d according to the magazine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tevin Monroe, assistant director of campus and community engagement, said he is not surprised by the Washington Monthly recognition. “Transylvania is a community that has always been deeply committed to service. Not only do we have a number of campuswide service events each year, but our students are truly committed to serving the greater Lexington area. Our students, faculty, staff and alumni continue to inspire a spirit of service and community.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last year, the publication ranked Transylvania 10th in the nation for service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the Washington Monthly\u2019s overall 2020 rankings \u2014 which factor in social mobility and research in addition to service \u2014 Transylvania is 71st among the country\u2019s liberal arts colleges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other recent recognitions include the Princeton Review listing<\/a> Transylvania among the top 13% of the nation’s four-year colleges.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
