Iowa Campus Compact will honor a Wartburg College senior and the college’s Urban Studies Program in Denver, Colo., for their service and community engagement at an event Tuesday, May 31. 
Angela Zook, a psychology major from Mason City, earned an honorable mention for Civic Mission Leadership, while the college earned an honorable mention for the Community Partnership Award for its work at Wartburg West in Denver, Colo.
The MLK Week planning committee also is in the running for the 2016 Network Choice Student Leadership Award. Online voting for this honor is open through Thursday, May 26, at www.iacampuscompact.org/network-choice.html.
Campus Compact’s Engaged Campus Awards recognize individuals and groups for their work toward the organization’s mission of deepening and strengthening campus civic and community engagement.
Zook is an Ambassador and Orange EXCELeration orientation leader. As president of Catholic Knights, she helped establish service opportunities between Wartburg students and St. Mary Catholic Church in Waverly. She’s participated in four service trips, including three as a student leader. Zook also served as the organization’s fundraising coordinator.
Students at Wartburg West have been partnering with the Denver community for three decades, but more recently have focused efforts in Denver’s Capitol Hill neighborhood. The Revs. Nelson and Bonita Bock, Wartburg West co-directors, helped the program forge partnerships with the Capitol Hill United Neighborhoods and Uptown on the Hill Neighborhood Association. Through that connection, Wartburg students helped create the city’s first certifiably green business district, and they are working on another neighborhood sustainability initiative.
Iowa Campus Compact is a coalition of college and university presidents devoted to fulfilling the public and civic purposes of higher education.
