A brief description of the practice of including community service on transcripts, if applicable:

Students enrolled in a service learning course register for the academic course and the service-learning component. The University Registrar has created a unique course designation for the service component. Courses ending in -89 are recognized as a service component and fulfill the public service graduation requirement. All service learning opportunities- courses, public service internships, and the public service fellows program- are recorded on a student’s transcript. Students who have successfully completed an -890 course have engaged with the community for 20-80 hours in that semester.


Does the institution provide incentives for employees to participate in community service (on- or off-campus)?:
Yes

A brief description of the institution’s employee community service initiatives:

Wave of Green: The University President joins approximately 500 staff and faculty members for an annual Day of Service. As Tulanians, we consistently demonstrate our active citizenship and commitment to our community’s prosperity through our work at the university, and we take part in a meaningful community service day together annually. Last year we volunteered with several organizations in one neighborhood, closest to the university with the greatest needed, Central City Neighborhood.
