Data source(s) and notes about the submission:

Northwestern doesn't keep a centralized database of all community service hours and numbers of volunteers. To get the number of community service hours above, we compiled all available self-reported data from student groups, the Greek life and residential colleges, Athletics, Feinberg, and Pritzker School of Law. This is not a complete reflection of the total community service hours completed by Northwestern students.
