Narrative of the Methododology:
Student participation in civic engagement programs was determined by first identifying relevant activities such as community service and volunteer projects. Data was collected through surveys sent to student organizations, departments, and faculty coordinators overseeing these activities. We collaborated with the Outreach Office to verify and cross-check participation records. Event attendance and volunteer logs were reviewed to ensure accurate counting and to avoid double-counting students involved in multiple programs. Finally, the verified data was analyzed and reported in the AASHE STARS submission, highlighting the extent of student engagement at SSN College.
