Oglethorpe is the only college or university in Georgia to be named to the President’s Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll seven consecutive years, winning every year since the award’s inception in 2006. Applications are due every September and announced in February of the following academic year. Oglethorpe has won for its distinguished community service and for the extraordinary volunteer efforts by the school and its students to serve Gulf Coast communities devastated by Hurricane Katrina.

Staff and faculty members have presented at the Gulf-South Summit on Service-Learning and Civic Engagement in Higher Education in 2010, 2011 & 2012.

In 2011, Oglethorpe University was chosen by the Algernon Sydney Sullivan Foundation to join the list of 50+ Sullivan Award Schools. Awards are presented to a male and female graduating senior whose "nobility of character" and dedication to service sets them apart as examples to others. At Oglethorpe's 2012 Honors and Awards Convocation, Clair Carter '12 and Jason Sabree '12 were selected as the first two recipients of the Sullivan Award.

Oglethorpe University student volunteers have been recognized in Atlanta INtown Newspaper’s Top 20 Under 20. Alfred Rudzki ’12 and Stephanie Perello ’12 were recognized in 2009 and Jasenka Besic ’10 and Erica Taylor ’11 were recognized in 2008.

On March 15, 2008 Oglethorpe joined The Clinton Global Initiative agreeing to create a college-enrollment culture in Atlanta elementary, middle, and high school students through the establishment of the Model School/College Partnerships with Atlanta Public Schools.

The Men's Basketball Team was named the 2006 John Swain Volunteer of the Year by the Metro Atlanta Boys and Girls Club for providing over 200 hours of service to local children.
