Southwestern is one of only three colleges and universities in Texas that have been named to the President's Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll with Distinction for 2007. The honor roll program, which was launched in 2006, recognizes colleges and universities nationwide that support innovative and effective community service and service-learning programs. It is sponsored by the Corporation for National and Community Service, the President's Council on Service and Civic Participation, the Department of Education, the Department of Housing and Urban Development, and the USA Freedom Corps, which was created by President Bush in 2002. In the first year of the program, Southwestern was named to the Honor Roll along with 15 other colleges and universities in Texas. For 2007, it made the Honor Roll with Distinction, along with just two other schools in Texas - Dallas Baptist University and The University of Texas at Arlington. The new Honor Roll, which was released Feb. 11, covers the 2006-2007 academic year. Criteria for the Honor Roll with Distinction included scope and innovativeness of service projects, percentage of student participation in service activities, and the extent to which the school offers academic service-learning courses. During the 2006-07 academic year, about 50 percent of Southwestern students participated in some form of community service -- significantly higher than the national rate of 30 percent reported by the Corporation for National and Community Service. These students contributed an estimated 18,000 hours of service to the community.

Brighton, near Birmingham, is home to 3,640 residents, 89 percent of whom are African-American. Battle did not experience much diversity in high school until the summer after his junior year, when he attended a four-week college preparatory program at Stanford University. " I loved it," Battle says of his experience at Stanford. "Getting out and seeing what the rest of the world looked like was everything I dreamed about as a kid." Battle performed so well at the Stanford program that faculty members there urged him to continue his education at the university. He was accepted at Stanford and spent his first two years there before transferring to Morehouse College in Atlanta, which is the only all-male historically Black institution of high learning in America. "I was involved with so many things at Stanford that my personal needs, as a kid from Brighton, were not being fulfilled," Battle says. "At Morehouse, I found a greater sense of confidence and a sense of optimism that charged me to succeed." This spring, Battle is getting yet another experience in diversity by attending Southwestern as an exchange student. He is the first student to take advantage of the student exchange component of the Engaged Diversity project, which is sponsored by the Mellon Foundation. Morehouse and Southwestern are participants in this program, along with Dillard University in New Orleans, Huston-Tillotson University in Austin and Rhodes College in Memphis. Battle says he has enjoyed meeting the faculty and students at Southwestern. "I have been quite wowed by the hospitality and incredible welcoming spirit that people have here," he says.
