Service Awards
Each year at Jane there are students who quietly provide unstinting, often unseen, service to the College. The service award also pays tribute to the importance of unselfish service not just to Jane but in our wider communities. The criterion for gaining a service award is for returning students who, over the course of their residency, have gone above and beyond, willingly serving and enhancing the College community though their ongoing, positive contributions to Jane.
