Courtney Hunt wins Employee of the Year Award in Community Service

What does it mean to embody a servant’s heart? It means being involved in the community, even when you’re off the clock. It means sacrificing weekends. It means going above and beyond through planning, strategizing and serving for the betterment of others and the overall growth of the community. 

UNC Charlotte defines exceptional community service as an employee who has made outstanding contributions by participating in or implementing community and public service projects such as volunteering with various non-profit organizations.
