Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
Catawba College maintains volunteer data through two central hubs: (i) Helper Helper, in coordination with our Athletics Department; and (ii) Presence, which is used by the Lily Center for Vocation and Values. To calculate total volunteer numbers and volunteer hours, we calculated the total amount of all student service hours and the number of students recorded in Helper Helper and then sorted and eliminated duplicates from Presence before totaling service hours in Presence, which combined to reach the total. Data tracking can be made available upon request.
