HPU Professor Serves as chair of the NC Commission on Volunteerism and Community Service
North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper appointed HPU professor Rev. Dr. Joe Blosser to serve on the NC Commission on Volunteerism and Community Service in 2021. Recently, Dr. Blosser was elected by the Commission to serve as its chair. In this role, he promotes service and volunteering to improve lives, strengthen communities and foster civic engagement across the state. The NC Commission oversees the state AmeriCorps programs, disaster volunteers and donations, promotes volunteer initiatives and more. Blosser is the executive director of HPU’s Center for Community Engagement, associate professor of religion and philosophy, and the founding director of the HPU Bonner Leader Program and the AmeriCorps VISTA Program.
“It’s an honor to be selected to serve in this role that promotes service throughout North Carolina,” says Blosser. “I’m excited to have an opportunity to work with leaders across our state to integrate service into the lives of our residents in much the same way we have made service a part of every student’s life at High Point University.”
Blosser will serve in this position for three years through Jan. 1, 2025.
