A brief description of the institution’s program to support employee volunteering:
The Université de Sherbrooke has implemented several programs and opportunities for social involvement in order to promote and encourage the involvement of its employees in the community. To name but a few examples:
CENTRAIDE CAMPAIGN
Every year, the Université de Sherbrooke raises funds for the Centraide Estrie campaign, a charitable organization that supports community organizations and volunteers in order to meet the needs of the most disadvantaged and vulnerable people in the region. Each year, a team of employees multiplies initiatives, including fundraising activities, to encourage people in their unit to contribute to this campaign (https://www.usherbrooke.ca/centraide/personnes-ressources). In 2021, the generosity of the university community particularly stood out, with the Centraide Committee raising a record $241,303.06.
The hours of staff involvement in the Centraide campaign are mostly done during regular work hours with the approval of the immediate supervisor. Although the Université de Sherbrooke does not keep a detailed record of the number of hours invested by those involved in the Campaign, a simple methodology could be developed to approximate this number of hours, if needed.

DIRECTORY OF UNIVERSITÉ DE SHERBROOKE SPECIALISTS
The Université de Sherbrooke has created a directory of its specialists, complete with search filters, which presents its professors according to their specializations. Thus, university specialists are easier to find and can be consulted by members of the community, for example, to obtain the opinion of an expert at the start of an innovative project or to cover a current topic in the news.

Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
The total number of students (12,063) considered in this credit has been established in accordance with the STARS 2.2 Technical Manual; it is made up of the predominant student body and includes all full-time undergraduate students enrolled for credit. This data was compiled for the financial year from 1 May 2021 to 30 April 2022, consistent with the period during which the survey was administered. The reference period used for this credit is therefore not the same as the data presented in credit PRE5, which represents the year 2020-2021.
