Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
CSUF has received the highest national recognition for 5 consecutive years for community engagement accomplishments. In 2011-12 roughly half of all enrolled students engaged in course-related or voluntary service (or both), totaling over 1.4 million hours of service to the community. Engagement is integrated into the mission statement and is part of everything the university does, from faculty teaching and research, to student learning and service, to institutional outreach and partnerships, to sharing facilities and resources. For institution-wide integration of engagement, CSUF was classified in 2008 in the joint categories of curricular engagement and outreach and partnerships by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching (a 10-year classification awarded to only 125 institutions in the country in 2008, the year it was awarded to CSUF). (FTE enrollment: 35,311; full-time only enrollment: 23,070)
