A brief description of the institution’s program to support employee volunteering:
In 2019, following the "Memorial Day Tornadoes", staff were compensated and supported for participating in clean-up efforts. Shifts of employees traveled to the clean-up sites and worked half- or full-days, using UD vehicles and equipment, instead of reporting to their respective on-campus responsibilities.
Community service is considered in all faculty annual merit review and as part of the tenure and promotion process. All members of the faculty are responsible for advancing the University, their discipline or interdisciplinary field and the community through service activities. This can include service to local, regional, national,and international,communities involves the application of the faculty member's discipline or field to projects that advance these communities and, in so doing, advance the stature of the University. Service activity related to the discipline or field, the University, and/or the community strengthens the University and affords faculty opportunities to advance their careers. To this end, the University provides guidelines that instruct units to develop policies that make explicit the value and importance of faculty service and establish expectations for service to the department, University, community and profession. These expectations may include standards for varied forms of participation, membership, and/or leadership positions per year for each member of the faculty. These standards should be consistent with policies for promotion and tenure, standards of accreditation, and other factors characteristic of the discipline or interdisciplinary field.
The Marianist Service Award was established in 1987 by Marianists working at the University of Dayton. Each year, this award honors two full-time staff whose behavior, over a significant number of years, is congruent with the University's Catholic and Marianist character of community service and social justice. The Lackner Award was given by the UD Marianists in 1985. The Marianist religious of the University established the award to honor a lay member of the UD faculty or staff who, over a long period of time, has made a significant contribution to the Catholic and Marianist character of the University of Dayton.
School of Engineering Vision Awards for faculty and staff.

Four Vision Awards are presented annually: Community, Innovation, Excellence, and Engagement and Service. The awardees receive a plaque and a monetary award in the amount of $2000.
