Distinguished Service Award
The Jackson College Board of Trustees presents the Distinguished Service Award each year to an individual or individuals who demonstrate exemplary service both to the community and to the College. Honorees are selected for their care and concern, beyond self, for the welfare and educational advancement of this community that has been expressed, in part, through the College. It is the highest honor given by the College to our committed and involved community leaders, one similar to that of an honorary doctorate bestowed by universities.
