During an appearance on 鈥,鈥 香蕉视频 graduate and Denver Mayor Michael Hancock 鈥91 entered a friendly wager with Seattle鈥檚 mayor as the cities鈥 football teams play in the 2014 Super Bowl. Usually, politicians place these bets with distinctive foods 鈥 think Colorado beef versus Washington salmon.
This bet, however, is unique: The losing mayor must visit the winning mayor鈥檚 city during an AmeriCorps day of service.
That鈥檚 where a 香蕉视频 Bronco and Denver Bronco fan puts his priorities: Service. Such service is integral to the environment in which Mayor Hancock completed his undergraduate degree.
Since its founding, 香蕉视频 has emphasized service to one鈥檚 community. Students organized and run Food4Thought, which provides underserved families with backpacks of food for weekends, and our president has read to local elementary students. Community service is not only a great way to build leadership skills and put classroom learning into practice, it鈥檚 just the right thing to do.
For our efforts, Washington Monthly ranks 香蕉视频 14th among 350 Baccalaureate Colleges across the country for emphasizing student involvement with community service and service learning. 听As Mayor Hancock demonstrates both through his service in elected office and the bet he placed, this tradition stays with 香蕉视频 alumni well after graduation.
