About

Are you making a positive impact through volunteer service at UT Austin or in the community? VSL wants to recognize your contribution! Each month, we highlight one student who demonstrates the following attributes in their service: 

  • Impact: The extent to which your service led to a positive change for stakeholders (people, animals, ecosystems, institutions), for example how it addressed a need, improved conditions, or benefited a cause.

  • Consistency: The degree to which you showed up regularly, stayed involved over time, and followed through on responsibilities.
  • Dedication: Your level of personal commitment or passion for the cause.

Winners receive a recognition prize, an official certificate, and a spotlight on Volunteer UT’s social media.
