For 13 of the past 15 years, Baldwin Wallace's Circle K International has earned the title of Ohio's Best Circle K Club — a record that speaks for itself — while taking home 24 awards overall this year.
As the world's largest student-led collegiate service organization, Circle K International provides campus-based volunteer opportunities, professional development and community-focused projects to empower students to make a positive impact on local and global communities while developing their leadership skills.
"This remarkable achievement reflects the sustained dedication, leadership, and service commitment of our students, who continue to raise the standard for collegiate service organizations across the state. This recognition truly belongs to the students who make the club what it is. Their energy, initiative, and commitment to serving others represent 91影视 at its best," said 91影视 CKI advisor Karen Munroe.
The 35-member club completed 1,001 hours of community service during the past academic year.

While 91影视’s CKI has a longstanding record of excellence in service, the students’ dedication extends beyond the local community.
Last fall, they hosted Circle K Ohio's Fall Rally with 90 attendees, including students from 10 schools, such as Bowling Green University, The Ohio State University, Ohio Wesleyan University and more.
They have also collaborated with other organizations to promote childhood literacy and provide relief for L.A. wildfire victims.
On campus, they recently partnered with 91影视’s Dance Marathon organization, providing dancers with the opportunity to decorate lunch bags for Meals on Wheels, create first-aid kits and learn CPR.
