Alestle Staff Report

Assistant Director of the Kimmel Leadership Center Suzanne Kutterer-Siburt was awarded for her work with the Illinois Campus Compact.

Kutterer-Siburt received a plaque in recognition for the various community and student-based programs she organizes.

"I was really surprised to receive this honor," Kutterer-Siburt said. "Schools like the University of Illinois and Northwestern (University) are involved with the Illinois Campus Compact, so it was exciting to win over those schools."

Kutterer-Siburt has been secretary for the organization's board for the past two years.

"We recognize Suzanne because of her commitment, not only to her programs, but to service learning as a whole," said Kathy Engleken, director of the Illinois Campus Compact. "She continues to push for improvement in the Illinois Campus Compact."

The Illinois Campus Compact promotes and develops involvement in community service programs such as volunteerism and services linked to students enrolled in higher education in Illinois. More than 25 colleges and universities are members of the Illinois Campus Compact.
