MidAmerica Nazarene University has been admitted to the 2010 President's Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll due to the students, faculty, and staff's community service.

Honor roll eligibility is based on meaningful community service that achieves measurable results.

In 2010 MNU performed several service projects, including:
 

• Passion to Serve project to support orphan and vulnerable children in Siaya, Kenya, raised $35,000 for an orphanage and sustainability projects with 16-plus campus and student-led fundraisers.
• 127 students on 12 mission trips that included international and domestic designations.
• $215,000 raised to support mission trips and projects.
• More than 10,000 service hours given.

MNU students made a community impact by serving local nonprofits such as:
 

• Kansas City Urban Youth Center: tutoring, mentoring, and other assistance.
• Prince of Peace Catholic Church: partner school.
• Freshman Service Day to Olathe (300 students): community churches, food pantries, schools and more.
• Heart to Heart Free Health Care: MNU students staff a healthcare clinic that services approximately 1,200 Kansas City residents. 
• Artists Helping the Homeless: students hosted their second annual art show which raised $2,200 for an organization that serves about 800 homeless men and women.
• Awarded Kansas Corps Volunteer Challenge - out of six participating universities, MNU had the most volunteers.
• Provided service to Habitat for Humanity, Lawrence Humane Society, and other non-profits.

The President's Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll recognizes institutions of higher education that support exemplary community service programs and raises the visibility of best practices in campus-community partnerships.

The Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS) oversees the Honor Roll in collaboration with the U.S. Departments of Education and Housing and Urban Development, Campus Compact, and the American Council on Education. Honorees are chosen based on a series of selection factors, including the scope and innovation of service projects, the extent to which service-learning is embedded in the curriculum, the school's commitment to long-term campus-community partnerships, and measurable community outcomes as a result of the service.
